'04 CL55 ABC Question
I have had the car for 3 weeks, the only mechanical issue i have noticed is this:
The LH (Front and Rear) is .5in lower than the RH. This is consistent in each of the 3 ride heights.
There are no warnings for anything, and "no malfunction" listed in the display when asked.
The car does not sink when parked, it is always .5in lower on the LH side.
I have checked the struts, in and around the wheel well and cannot find any fluid.
Fluid level is good, and the fluid clear.
Can I get some direction where to look next? Every thread I look into seems to have more to do with leaking struts/valves/lines that fall to the bump stops, this seems to be more of a calibration issue since the car is consistent through each level setting. The links look stock and do not look mangled.
I want to take pictures to help the diagnosis, let me know where I should check.
P.S. I have looked at this over the past few weeks on all kinds of surfaces, angles, and as flat as i could find without any avail, .5in off.
car still feels great though.

I have disconnected the main battery on the vehicle. I will leave it that way for 24H and then hook it back up. Maybe i have something out of whack.
I am hoping it has something to do with the lateral acceleration sensor....

I am worried about tire wear and alignment issues later even if the system is healthy. It's just odd that I cannot fix it. I may talk my local dealer into hooking up star to it and see if he/she sees anything weird.
