Should I be concerned?
My 05 E500 was parked in the carport for about a week and I notice yesterday that the rear end has bottomed out. I start the car and it has returned to stock height and remained the same since then. I've parked my car for much longer periods without issues before. Should I be concerned? Or this happens occassionally? TIA!

I spoke to a dealer mechanic about this over the weekend. He says that i may have a small leak in the rear bags and it'll happen moreso when i dont drive it - as your case is. I've had this issue for over 2 years now, but it only seems to happen constantly during winter and sparingly in the summer. I just wait for it to rise and go on my way. Not spending $$$$$$$ to fix a small inconvenience.
