W208 CLK430 Front End higher then rear???
Is it normal for the front end to have more clearance between the fender and tire? My rear end looks perfect and the front looks as if I have a couple of hundred pounds of sand in the trunk. THe front is about 2-3 inches higher it seems.

Stock springs and 18k my01

Thanks in advance

I've noticed that too. I think it's just how it is.

Simple answer........front tires turn..........rears don't.


Basically the front needs more room because of the front tires turning and hitting bumps.

Make sense???

You can always use shims to adjust the height to your taste.
