ABC Issue after installing lowering links
I bought lowering links online for my 2003 CL55 AMG. I installed all 4 lowering links last night, shorter rear links to lower the car and longer front links to lower the front. Now that I installed the links the front of my car is really low (too low) and the back suspension raised up for some reason. And also the left side of my car is slightly lower than the right side of my car. I'd appreciate any help ..

I had gotten these links earlier this summer, it seems to me you might have put them in backwards I remember putting the shorter ones in the front and the longer for the rear... they should have come with instructions, I am at school right now otherwise I'd find mine.
For the difference in height on either side, see if you can get a hold of calipers or something else that is accurate to measure form the inside of the joints to set them at the same heights.
Hope this helps.

Thank you Matty. I ended up figuring the problem and I'm going to share what the issue was even though it shouldn't be a common one. My left rear link kept coming off because the C clip inside of the link wasn't tense enough and caused my hydraulic height to mess up.

Same problem with my 03 CL600
I measured my rear links to the same size along with matching the front links to each other & ive went through it twice & my left side sits over a half inch shorter. I’m bout ready to put the stock ones back on & say the hell with it. Any suggestions ?
because you need to do calibration my friend, with Xentry
