Hi everyone,

I recall reading about this same issue in another post, but I simply cannot find it via search.....

We've had our touring for about 3 weeks now. When I feel I am sitting straight and level in the seat, my head ends up about an inch inboard of the center position of the headrest. I was annoyed enough by it that this morning I decided to investigate. What I finally realized was that the car tilts to the left (left side of the car is visibly lower). When I think I have my body straight up, I am therefore leaning inward, causing my head to be to the right of the center of the headrest....

I've read about the left (driver's) side being higher, to compensate for the driver's weight. But in my case the left side is lower when I am out of the car, and I would suspect even lower when I am in the driver's seat.

Question for the group -
Does anyone know if the self-leveling suspension height is adjustable by the dealer? Could it be that the "neutral" or "target" position for the self-level suspension is off, and that it can be reset? I want to know what is possible before heading to the dealer and asking them to fix it. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

Thank you very much in advance!

Is it lower on the left than the right at the front, the rear or both? Usual ride height measurement is from the bottom edge of each wheel rim lip vertically through the center of the wheel to the lip of the wheelarch. How do left and right compare? Usually within 10mm of one another is OK.

I know the rear left is lower than the rear right. I will have to check the fronts, as well as take the measurements tonight.

I let the engine run and level the car, then took a measurement.
The rears are exactly at the same height, at 26 3/4" (67.95cm). This is from the ground to the highest point of the wheel arch.
The fronts are slightly off; Front Right at 27 3/4" (70.49cm), and Front Left at 27 1/2" (69.85cm).

I took the measurement twice, with the car facing the opposite direction to account for any ground slope.

The left-to-right difference is 0.64cm. I guess I'm just super sensitive about these things.

Thanks for your help!
