Rear suspension oddity

[Tom Lins]

I have an issue with the rear ride height the right rear is about 1 inch lower than the left rear when you set the Electro-Level to auto.
I can correct it by setting to hold and adjust it manually but I would rather have the auto function work as it should and not have to pull out the
tape measure all the time. Everything appears to be ok in both wheel wells and I do not have adjustable links.
Is it as simple as getting adjustable links and install them, and then adjust them to get the coach sitting right?
Or am I missing something that could be a problem?

Looking for any thought on this.

There is a slotted hole in the arms of the ride height controls. When you
loosen the screw, the arm can be adjusted to change the ride height. If
that is not enough adjustment, then the adjustable links can be used.
Failing that, something else is wrong. ( worn link rubber bushings,
attachment of ride height valves, inner fender loose or broken, etc.)

On the topic of rear suspension... Should any parts of the ride height components be lubricated with something like WD-40 or Lithium spray? I've
used my GMC few times this winter (as luck would have it - during the absolutely worst winter storms). I'm going over it and getting ready for
summer. Poking around the rear wheels I wanted to make sure I'm not missing anything besides boggie pins as far as lubrication goes. I have a Quad
bad setups if this helps.

Like to think that the sensor relay arms can be cleaned and light coat or
suspension grease will be good
