The reason I ask is because my latest handling issues have still not been fully resolved. After driving the car a week after the swaybar was replaced, I can still feel the underlying handling issues, and the steering wheel is perpetually cocked off to the left about 15* on level ground. I tried to drive it at *true* 10 and 2, without eyeballing the steering wheel, but it still feels like it's squirming around at the rear and teetering when I do anything other than soft steering input.

I measured the clearance when I got home just now and turned the car off, and I can measure 4 inches between fender lip and top of tire at rear, 3.5 at front.

I have never seen it sit more than 3 inches off the tire! I called the shop and he says ADS/whatever said it was in spec last time.

That's great to hear considering it's NEVER sat this high in the 2 years I've owned it, and I'm having handling issues.

So what is the "default" spec?

Eh, unfortunately the height is measured differently (romness gage), so I had to do some math. Your Heights are on the high side, but within specs. I would check front sway bar main bushings. If they are good, I would ask the shop to check If pressures are about the same side to side. See my previous post for twisted/ compensated suspension pressures that still keep truck at speced height...

Thanks Alx. Supposedly, all these things were checked. But.....who knows. I will say that I cranked the car up yesterday morning, and voila! It clearly felt lower in the rear, and as I drove, the wheel was staying more-centered, and it was not teetering. As I sat in the drivethru line, I felt it raise enough to push me more-forward in the seatback! I thought "oh no, here we go again," but then it LOWERED itself again maybe a minute later, and was fine for the drive home.

Level sensor? ADS computer re-learning with the new height sensors? Something still corroded and stuck? Valve block??
