My driver's-side air suspension rear wheel well height is always 0.5" shorter (closer to the ground) than my passenger's-side air suspension rear wheel well height. Is there any way to adjust the air suspension to make both left and right sides the same height? Thanks.

There is only 1 height sensor for the rear of the car. Both springs are controlled together. You can't calibrate them separately.

Measure the front of your car. In my experience with pre-2003 panther platforms, 1/4" difference in the front will give 1/2" diff in the rear. It is always a front coil spring problem.

The front suspension is totally different in the 2003-up panther platform and I haven't seen any come in with a leaning concern but I would have to say you have a front spring issue.

So is mine. I had a tough time grasping that when I lowered my car...Driver's side sits a bit lower than the passenger's side.

Yup, glad to hear I'm not alone (I'm not glad you have the problem, too, but you know what I mean). Yup, it really started to bug me after the 40/45-series tires and the Eibachs!

I have the same problem. My driver's side sits a little lower. Now, if I was Bigdogjim I would understand that, but at only 160 lbs., I can't figure out why that would happen.
