Has anyone ever noticed that the right side of their X sits about 1cm low on both the front and rear? I've got an 08' X5 with 4.8l and third row with auto level. The inside of the right rear of the vehicle also has a lot of wear to the first two inches of the tread. I'm going in for an alignment on Monday but don't want to waste the money if I need new bags to level me out.
A few days ago I had it on a ramp checking out the awesome alternator bracket oil leak and when I pulled it off I just parked it, came out the next morning and the rear was low, about 10" to the bottom of the hitch (reason I found this thread). I opened the door and the compressor came on and leveled everything out, minus the 1cm on the right rear. So, I checked the front right and it's also about 1cm lower than the left front. Kind of weird, I'm on a level surface in the garage.
Any pointers or ideas, anyone mind measuring their wheel wells to the top of the wheels to see if they've got a disparity? When you open the doors the compressor doesn't come on and the height stays the same, I've been observing this for the past few days after reading this post and I haven't heard the compressor once.
I used a tape on the hitch and it stays at a constant 13.5" to the bottom so I don't think the bags are leaking.
