Stock front end height

Hi All -

I have a '07 E350 Sport. To make a long story short....got rear ended and ran over over curb (only front driver's side). Had front driver's side rim, tire, shock, spring, etc replaced.

Car looks great except the car "looks" like it's sitting a little high. I measured both sides and the driver's side is sitting a touch higher, less than 1/8'. I'm assuming thats because of the new spring. But it's just throwing me off....it's probably only mental.

Does anyone know what the height for a stock E350 Sport is from the ground to the bottom of the fender? Or is there a better way to measure?

Thanks,

ML

Don't have specs but +/- 1/8 doesn't sound like a problem. The height is controlled by a arm that connects the chassy and wheel assembly. It is adjustable. If it is out of spec (Check MB for spec) the arm should be adjustable.

If however it is low and leaking down you might have a leak in the system to include the air spring.
