W205
Question

Hi everyone,so i have changed on one side on my w205 2015, on the left side lower control arm,caster arm and tie rod, now there is 6mm difference gap, marked on photo the measurements taken each side and small marking is the side i have changed everything, this side sits higher and the side i did not touch sits almost on the rim, wheel alignment not done but that should not change that gap there, so i am wondering which side gap is correct?



Any solutions or ideas welcome.

Did you clock the suspension bushing correctly by tightening at ride height? If clocked wrong it could add spring pressure from the bushing acting as a torsional spring. IF the side that was worked on was tightened as the wheel was hanging, I would expect that side to have the larger gap.
