Front suspension
Could anyone tell me what to buy ? I have a message coming up in the dash board saying "stop car too low" and I noticed front right side is way down to the ground , what is it I need to replace , and which brand is the best ? My car is CLS 55 2006 .

If it's just one corner, chances are you have a bad strut or air line (broken, kinked, etc). The problem can also stem down to the suspension pump, but that usually involves either the entire front end or rear, or the the entire car being too low....
You'll need to check out everything, pump, controller, lines, fittings and struts to find the problem...
And as for what or where to buy, your best bet is the dealer for these items...

You can buy them after market for about 1/4 the cost. The dealer will charge 1000-1500 to replace.
when you go to raise the car get next to the wheel and see if you hear the air leaking out and or do not hear the pump that pumps the air.
Good luck, this is a common prob for cars with airmatic
