2008 CLS AMG6.3
air suspension

I have a 2008 CLS AMG 63 and noticed the other day the passenger side of the car was sittlng lower than the driver side when the car was parked. I started the car and still noted the lean. If I raise the car to highest level, it seems to level out? If I disengage then again it comes down but sits lower on the passenger side? Any thoughts? Are there adjustments for this, or does it mean I need service and possible new air pump.
Anyone else experience this issue?
Frank

There is a sensor behind each front wheel mounted to the upper a-arm that controls automatic leveling. Requires a computer with STAR to calibrate a new one, but it might be close if you just slapped one in. There are also four air shocks that tend to fail. Check out arnott.

Mine slightly lower on one side as well. But this is very common for all airmatics on CLS's and E's. Nothing to worry about, is very normal.
