Left rear scrapes on big elevation changes

Hey guys I would like to discuss something to see what you think. I have a CL55 and I have put different rims then stock they are all good and look really good the fitment is perfect, lines up really well with the fenders anyways when I am on the highway doing AMG speeds and there is a sudden elevation change on the highway I can hear the left rear side scrape a little. I do not remember if it would scrape with the stock rims but I don't think so. Its weird because I only hear the left side scrape, not sure if I don't hear the right side because I am sitting on the left or because it does not scrape. Most likely its not scraping since my passenger said they also hear it from the left side.

(Scraping does not happen when going over normal bumps just sudden elevation changes when going pretty fast)

My car is on lowering links now but I drive it on highest setting which would be the same as lowest setting without the links.

When I did not have the links installed if I did sport mode abc it would not scrape as much since the suspension would get harder and not let the car absorb as much.

I also noticed since I bought the car the left rear side is slightly lower but this is by millimeters not noticeable to the eye.

I think I should change my rear accumulator even though I am not getting the red flash over bumps like the front one did when it was going bad before I changed it. What do you think?
