Default Car Suspension Settling
Is it normal for the suspension to settle a little bit if it hasn’t been driven in a couple of days? I’ve noticed that recently that the front will drop half inch or so if have not driven for a bit.

I think it is. The front on mine dips a bit maybe 15 seconds after I park and lock it in my garage. There’s a slight incline which I believe makes a difference there.

I would assume it's normal. The air suspension in my Volvo XC60 does the same thing (auto leveling) after being parked.

My 2022 did that. My dealer said they all do it. Even showed me another new one on the lot that we drove and tested, it did it too.

Throw 250 lbs worth of rock sliders on it and you'll see ultra access height!

Thanks all! Will keep an eye on out but sounds like it's normal.
