Surely they would’ve looked at the height sensors and recalibrated them. Sounds like it’s more serious but mine had about a 1” lean toward the passenger side. Hooked up my diagnostic tool and recalibrated the height in about 10 minutes
They certainly did. I was told they went as far as replacing the EAS computer with their own known-working unit, and it was still FU.
There was a problem with wiring loom on the pass. side, they fixed it - but the truck is still doing it.

Not really sure what wire harness on the right side would cause air suspension issues. But I would be looking at a connector behind the left wheel house liner. It's behind the wheel. That causes all kinds of problems. Also one under the left air cleaner, down low by the radiator.
Those 2 connectors and then the early height sensors had a water ingress problem

My comments were aimed primarily at the LR4 with a 5.0.
LR3 can be very reliable, but my brother's is in the shop for 13 weeks already - they are still trying to figure out why does it lean on one side.
I'd have thrown the towel already, and routed the airbag hoses to the rear bumper with Schrader valves.

Oh thanks for clarifying. Yeah, a lean would drive me insane.

Yes, that’s a pretty good deal if it’s a well sorted vehicle and has seen all correct maintenance intervals
