Un-Even ride height

Hi Guyz

My 2003 Cl500, is higher at the front end compared to the rear, quite a noticeable difference, checked the ABC fluid - level is good, operated the button on the dash to raise and lower the car - works fine, bur still the car is higher at the front compared to the rear, i have no ABC messages on the instrument cluster, car drives fine,no visual leaks, no issues, Only uneven height.

Only one thing which i feel is abnormal, when i start the car i hear this sound from the driver side for like 2 secs and then goes away.

Any help appreciated.

Thanx

You forgot to mention your reference, measurement point in order to make that statement.

Didn't you notice this when you bought it 2 weeks ago?

Assuming your ABC valve blocks are working correctly and your front to rear wheel/tire sizes are matched, it sounds like your may need a right height optimization which is accomplished by using the Mercedes Star Dias System (SDS).

Thanks for the reply guys

As far as reference is concerned, My cl is running on 17inch 225/55 all around, parked the car on level ground, took the gap measurement between the tire and fender.

And Yes i did notice the difference at the time of purchase, But was more concerned with the operation and leaks.

- So i need to hook-it up with star, will look into it and report back

Thanks Again
