i drive an ///M6
any idea what this means.....

...after my car is parked for a couple hours, the driver side rear suspension seems to look somewhat "compressed", even on a flat surface. after i start the car and put it in gear and start to move, it rises back to normal, immediately. any ideas??? there is no fluid leaks or anything else that looks weird. thanks in advance.

2003 CL500
i thought i needed a update on my contact lense prescription but perhaps not?

i was at a local benz dealer today and i was doing my usual visual study of an 04' CL500 sport. silver w/black interior, gorgeous. but i noticed from the back that the car was slightly lowered on the left side. the pavement was flat, the car was not. i am sure of this, i think... is this related to the common abc/suspension problem? i need new eyes, i thought i had at least another 50-60 years left on current pair.

It's common to the ABC cars. Tell the dealer to check your valves.

Is this a common problem? Is there something I can to as far as preventive maintenance? I would rather replace with equipment which is not faulty before something goes wrong.

CL was my brainless car. I don't do visual inspections or anything before driving. I assume the thing will work. I have had problems with it before and it's mostly my wife's car so now I'm checking forums to see if there is anything suspect that can be mitigated before things get ugly.
