Does KDSS affect ride height

[Gx4sevend]

I recently did lower control arms and removed my front sway bar. The vehicle now sits an inch or more lower on the driver side.

Besides turning up the coil over, is there another fix? Does kdss actually change the ride height?

The lean to the driver side is driving me nuts.

Try disconnecting the rear bar. Yes, the KDSS system affects the lean, which is why it needs to be calibrated sometimes after a lift. With half your system missing, it may be compensating in the rear.

That's what I was afraid of. I will try that today on a break from work.

The easiest way to do it, is to just unbolt the brackets attached to the piston and the sway link, rather than trying to unbolt it from the axle.

Yeah there's two vertical bars holding it in the center just like the front one. I'm hoping that solves the lean. Super annoying.

Ok so the bars are harder to remove than I thought. It's seriously almost 2" to the driver side and sat perfectly level before the front sway bar bent. Starting to get really annoyed with this.

Bent the front sway bar?? How did you manage that? That thing is nearly 2" thick.

So the two brackets that are attached on the lowers, the bolt holes were kind of stripped from a previous install. Well both bolts blew out and the bar bent over the mounting bracket and tore the cv boot.
