Wagon members: Are your rear sagging?
Wifes car is about 45000 km, around 30000 miles. But the rear is SIGNIFICANTLY lowered compared to the front. Now, the front looks like a 4x4 wheel gap.
Even no body is in the rear, same shxt happens. Just a 40-50 lb baby stroller in the back only...
Are the shocks dead? I think at least one shox are new due to warrenty because it was squeaking and feeling not balanced. But before that, the rear too feels sagging and corners like no tomorrow, well, compared to my C32.
or simpily my C240 RWD shox are just right from the sedan which doesn't have uprated spec suspensions for the extra weight?
Any inputs appreciated... so i know should i go back to ***** about...

what kind of road conditions do you/your wife drive on? do you guys carry alot of stuff on and off? or have you gone thru a really big pothole/curb, that might have damaged the shocks

2004, but the matter is the car only have about 45000 km...
We also have a first wave of C240 prior this car... so i know the rear shouldn't sag like that.
I wouldn't think the shox are damaging at this point, since the front sits up tight and nice. And again, the rear shox are new...
Comon, where are our wagon owners

Shocks are not the cause, they make your ride soft but they don't control the hight os the car. Actually that's why they are called shck absorbers 
. Gotta look at your springs or uload some of the thing you carry in the rear j/k

haha alex you are right.
you see, my C320 with stock sport coupe shocks, the rear tire is slightly tucked in.
maybe you should get coilovers and set them to the lowest setting for your wifey!

Good idea bro... but unfortunately i don't see any coilovers for the wagons... or even spring+shox combos... only lowereing springs from Eibach and no sport shox to match for wagons.
But i guess wify rather spend the money than using it up on the car... haha
Bump...
