Need Some Help: Front Suspension

RyBMW · 06-28-2015, 06:59 PM

I recently took my truck in for front suspension service and just notice that only the driver side has this part:

My passenger side does not but has the pre-drilled holes for though. I don't remember if the passenger side was supposed have this part installed.

Driver Side:

Passenger Side:

Just checked and i have the Regulating rod on the passenger side. Looks like there should be one on each side.

Do you have adaptive drive suspension?

That is your level sensor. Only one side per axle needs one.
