ABC Mystery

Hi
My 03 CL500 has always had a level ride height side to side. Suddenly it seems that the left (driver's) side is 1.5" higher than the right, both front and rear.

ABC works fine, nothing leaks, and using the "Raise" button causes a consistent 1" rise as always, for both sides. It's just that the left is 1.5" higher than the right.

Any insights as to cause? Any help much appreciated.

Check level sensors. Probably broken.

Verified that the ride-height linkages are intact and equal, side to side, both front and rear. It seems the front is the worst and probably affecting the height of the left rear as well.

Tried adding a couple washers on the front left (high side), per the lowering instructions. No effect! Ride height stayed the same.

I guess I'll try a new height sensor. Anyone have a part number handy?

Best to check the actual values in DAS. The car could just need a simple level calibration.
