Passenger side lower than driver side.

[BCan]

Mine is very similar, but yours seems to be even more pronounced. Is the back passenger side always lower than the back driver's side? The rear of truck is usually closer to level for me, and can fluctuate, but the front passenger is always about 3/4 lower, sometimes more.

One final question: is there any slope to your garage floor (hard to tell from the pic)?

I’d say the front pax kneel also affects the right rear a bit since the truck is heavy. I’d wager that fixing the right front will also bring the rear up a bit.

there isn’t any slope to my garage floor.

So if anyone is so inclined, you can observe the measured height of the suspension at each wheel in the service menu. The code you want is VDM_EcasHeight and there is one for FL, FR, RL, and RR. These are values measured in relation to the prescribed values for the chosen ride height - negative means compression and positive the opposite, relative to baseline.

It's kind of interesting to monitor them while driving and see how it changes. Steady state appears to be set for up to about 3mm of tolerance from one side to the other, but it can vary widely while driving, particularly while under acceleration (compression in the rear) and deceleration (compression in the front).

On a potentially related note, it seems anecdotally that my FR measures at a consistently lower value than my FL, by up to 10mm. This may or may not have anything to do with my rightward drifting alignment issue. The rear seems to stay more in balance. There is a graph function, but I can't ever get it to show any data, as it seems to only show the previous two hours on the X axis.

Mine parked (big diff), and woke (still diff)

I’m at a loss on what to do.

I don't see any reason to worry about what the heights are when parked. The second ones don't appear that worrisome to me, those are fractions of an inch difference side to side. Leave the screen up and see what they are when going a steady speed on flat terrain. That's all that really matters

You don’t see parked cars 1.7 inches off. I expect a 90K car to be level. I haven’t seen any R1Ts that aren’t level in the parking lot. The computer says its off…so why doesn’t the computer level it in the garage? I realize the 2nd numbers are close…but again…it’s a computer…it should nats ass level it in the garage. The service center acknowledged its incorrect…i’d like it fixed.

Ok, sounds like you have it sorted out then.

Mine seems to suggest the numbers are reasonably close...when parked...yet they measure out to almost an inch different side to side. Something is off. Sensor mounting or accuracy is my guess. Needs a trim adjustment.

I just got my truck back and was told this was fixed by the advisor. Measured as soon as I got it back and sure enough, it was still the same 3/4" lower on the front passenger side. Called service to inquire why it wasn't fixed and was told what they measured was within the 5mm spec. Spent some time trying to explain to him that it isn't level and you can actually feel the other shocks raise without the front passenger one moving. Restated it was in spec, so I referred him to the service case of the 1 person who has had this fixed and he claimed it may be fixable in an update but they couldn't do anything more to fix it at this time.

I think there's also a little misunderstanding of what these values are measuring. They are NOT measuring height from a fixed point, i.e. the ground, so as to reflect or illustrate whether the vehicle has a lean to one side or front to back. They are measuring suspension compression.

As an illustration, below is in my garage, which I also measured to confirm it was essentially level on the floor. You could also imagine a scenario in which the ground had more of a slope to it side to side. In that case, these readings would be even more skewed in showing more compression on one side than the other, but it wouldn't mean your truck is leaning, but rather the opposite - the surface it's sitting on is leaning.

Yea…i agree. I want my level bubble to look like yours…and not the level bubble picture I posted.

Yours was measured after truck was asleep though right? Mine will look like that sometimes too, but it levels itself out once it wakes up and I drive.

They let the vehicle sag when asleep, so that's another topic entirely and there is nothing to "fix" when it's designed that way (at least for now). There's even another variable in that screen to measure the amount of sag.

Here it is awake…level centered above the main screen. I stuck a water bottle cap on the end to get level.

I obviously took this pic from the pax seat…cause it’s way easier to get into the truck on that side

I also noticed today, got in after lunch and front passenger was noticeably lower but it took several minutes of driving before it evened out. If you just woke up the vehicle to do this measurement, I'd try it again at the end of a drive after you pull in to garage.

And just to be clear, the vehicles currently are not designed to auto level so that these types of measurements would show them to be level. That is a feature to be included as part of a Camp Mode that they are working on for later this year or next.

I imagine if you took a level to all the cars in a parking lot, you'd find them to be off level to some degree.

If you walk up to my truck…at a service center…compare to dozens of other trucks…the right tire is compressed into the wheel well more than the left. It’s noticeable. It’s always the right pax. I can drive it 80mph…stop measure…right pax low. Plenty of trucks to look at around my area. Mine isn’t correct…service center said it’s incorrect.
It isn’t level driving, numerous people who have rode in it agree. Additionally, it pulls slightly right.

if i could, just once, see it level…I’d rejoice. I carry a level…it’s never been level - ever.

This is mine too. Always low on passenger side like 3/4" and slight pull to right. Numbers in the diagnoric screen show it low, but alot less than the equivalent of 3/4". So there is a skew somewhere.
