Not sure, if this is directly related to this thread, but thought I'd start here first.
I have 1500 miles on my LR4. Recently, I suspended a tennis ball from the garage ceiling to use as a marker so I will know how far to pull in. I stop just when the ball brushes the hood.
Every morning (after sitting overnight) since I've done this, when I come out the ball is suspended about 1-2 inches over the hood...it's not touching the hood anymore.
Is this normal? Just doesn't seem right. I haven't noticed an obvious lower front end, like the Count did. However, I have noticed several times after I park the car a hissing sound and the entire car lowering...this is always on level ground.
I would appreciate anyone's thoughts on this.
I think the auto leveling is totally normal... As long as it corrects after you start on your journey again. My concern was after a drop, like in the front only, it would not rise back to normal. and that ended up being a leaky strut.
Have you tried pulling out and going back in to see if the tennis ball is matching your marker or not? That would at least prove if the front isn't rising back to normal, or, if it takes a little time. The suspension is so complex (brilliant actually) and I'm sure it's working as designed, but if I knew more about how it really works and why I'd be awesome.
