Hey.
Can somebody please tell my how to lower my 211, 2004 mod with air suspension at the rear axle??
I used H&R springs in front. It looks nice, but I dont now how too lower it back.
It way too high!! 9.5X20 and 10.5X20.

Thanks!

Are you sure you have the airmatic? If you used springs in the front you most likely don't have the airmatic suspension. Cars equipped with airmatic have air shocks on all 4 corners. Does you car have the little 'raise' button below the gear shifter? If not, then you don't have an airmatic suspension.

No,there is no button there. But it have some sort of level adjustment, because it goes up and down when I put some weight in it.
And it´s a compressor that starts pumping.
So no matter what I´m trying to do,the car just want to go to the same level.
The H&R kit just came with to springs, the frontsprings.

I think the right name of it is self-levelling device...

Ahhhhh.....

Do you happen to have a W211 wagon?

Not sure if the wagon rear suspension is the same as the rear in a w211 sedan but take a look anyway.

tassarassa

First,thank you for trying helping me out.

But I don´t really understand what to do from the pictures.
Is it so that there are two sensors, one on each rear side?
And when I´ve found them...is it just to undo it,and put some washers between the sensor and the nut.
It´s difficult to see it at the pictures.But from what I understand the intension is to create a gap between the sensor and nut?

I´m not a mechanic

I don't think you can do anything about the self leveling feature your car has. If it had airmatic, then its a different story.

Benz-O-Rama

That's what I was thinking. I'm not familiar with the load leveling feature of the wagons. Didn't know if it worked the same as the rear airmatic on the sedans. I wonder if the dealer can do some magic with the Star Diagnostic machine.

Here is the sensors at the rear of my wagon.....and yes, its one on each side.

...and here is a drawing on how the airspring look like.
Is it equal to the one you talking about?
