Suspension uneven?

[CraigH]

My new 2023 Badlands 4dr with Sasquatch has the driver’s rear suspension more elevated than the passenger side when parked for a few days. The driver side rear is up about 1.5 inches in comparison to the passenger side. I can see this by eye and demonstrate it by measuring the distance from the top of the tire to the fender flare. This seems to correct after driving it, and the internal display never senses any degrees of imbalance. Should I have the dealership look at this? Anyone else see this on their Bronco? Not sure what to make of it, or whether this is meaningful. Only 240 miles on it so far, so perhaps this is something that will settle out with time and driving.

Thanks in advance.

Do you have a full tank of fuel?

 

[CraigH]

Yes.

In fact, I’ve noticed it with a tank down around 1/4 full and with the current full tank

Hi there, Craig! Could you privately message us with your VIN and the name and location of your Ford dealer so I can look into this suspension concern for you? Thank you!

1 1/2 I'd get looked at. My passenger front is 3/8 high, but only noticed when measured.

I would be willing to bet almost all vehicles have some discrepancy in height when comparing corner to corner/side to side. When it comes to fuel tanks, batteries, etc. you get lots of weight differences. I had a Tacoma for years and in the Toyota world it is referred to as the "taco lean". My Tacoma was 1" difference in front driver vs passenger. I even had to set my Bilstein adjustable shocks at different heights to level it out.

Did I read this right?
You drive it, and it sits level. You leave it parked several days and it becomes uneven. You drive it again and it levels out?

So, it may just be me. The uneven suspension occurs sitting on my inclined driveway. The driveway inclines front to back, but not much from side to side, so it does not seem that should make a difference in the rear suspension when comparing the passenger side to the driver's side. However, I drove it to my office and parked in on a totally level surface. There the suspension was perfectly equivalent from one side to the other and remained that way all day. I stopped by the dealership and they recommended that we just keep an eye on it, saying that the difference on an incline at rest may not be much of an issue.

I know this is an old thread, but i am having the same issue with my '23 Wildtrak (1500mi) the LR is 1.5" lower than the RR.

Did you ever resolve your issue?
