Uneven Ride Height

[Quattro]

My '04 V8 Sport has a bit of a swagger riding about 1.5 inches lower on the driver side or depending on your perspective 1.5 inches higher...oh never mind that. What gives? I'm kinda new to this ride but have done a fair bit of wrenching on my other/previous vehicles. There appears to be a pressure canister (hydraulic?) running front to rear. Could this be leaking causing my gimp? All insight appreciated!! I'm only at 14K miles having put 6K on her myself. No offroading, etc.

Thank you for the info John and pardon the ignorance on double posting. Would you be so kind as to educate me on what appear to be pressure canisters on either frame rail?

regards

Not really sure what you're referring to. Is it possibly the XREAS system? That's standard on the Sport, not available on the SR5.

If it is indeed XREAS, then that would not be your problem unless it's leaking. And if it's leaking, you have bigger problems than the lean.....

well, the gas tank is on the drivers side of the car. that could be it..

is your ride stiffer than usual at all?

edit: nevermind, covered by the threads above, my gas tank suggestion anyways.. weird, those posts didn't show at first until i posted. weird browser issue probably..
