Low right rear corner

No warning lamp, no faultmate code.
Rear right suspension sits considerably lower at all settings. I don't think it comes lower when parked over time. Compressor was a bit noisy in extremely cold weather, now just -10 and no noisier than normal.

Probably a sensor not working properly, or it needs a recalibration? No LR dealer or indy here, that's why I got the Faultmate FCR but I obviously need something more powerful - what tool would I need to recalibrate?

need to get the tracking done at LR (takes around 2 hours) otherwise you could end up with ossilating corners (as you've got already) which will eventually throw the car in to limp mode/AT off/transmission fault warnings.

once done then have all the height sensors changed (they're not expensive) then recalibrate the suspension/steering sensor.

Doing it in half measures will mean you're revisiting the same issues time and time again PLUS if you have to emergency brake your 2.5tons of metal give you the potential to throw you off in all directions. Thumbs Up

Thank you, character. Good to know what has to be done, rather than visiting indy in neighbouring city numerous times!
