Folks I know this topic was last visited a while back but perhaps I can get some advice, my 2010 RX450h needs a Right Hand rear height control sensor.  I managed to secure a LH item a couple of weeks back from China but the dealer 'Grandado.com' don't have the RH version.  Any suggestions to avoid me having to pay 520 inc vat for the dealer version?  Thanks!

Plenty here on eBay

You can buy a fully assembled unit or just the sensor itself (just scroll down the page) or just the mechanical linkage if you know which part has gone faulty.

Thanks Herbie for the response. I have now replaced both ride height sensors on my 2010 RX450h SE-L but have another problem.  The dash warning messages have gone with the change of sensors however the car seems to have 'settled' on it's suspension, with the shocks not absorbing!  I'm feeling every bump, there's no shock travel and the local guy who replaced the sensors is unsure what to do next.  I'm guessing that the air suspension is not pumping up, does that sound right and can anyone tell me how to remedy the problem?  Thanks in advance for any responses!

Just sent you a PM Gary, which will hopefully help.

I'm not a big believer in coincidences like this so I'd initially say that something has been disturbed/knocked/disconnected and not reconnected etc., but also read the OBD codes to see if anything has been flagged up.

I know this post is years old, but incase someone finds it like I just did. 
I’ve been looking for a height sensor for exact same reason. 
Todays cheapest is £18.50

The same one from Lexus is an unbelievable £549. No, I didn’t mistype. 
Thats just thieving.
