E550 Airmatic Question

I've read probably all the posts on how to measure ride height when lowered etc. Does anyone have the ride heights on any setting from the factory when new as just had rear bags replaced by dealer and from left to right after sitting for 4 days now have 1/2 to 3/4" height difference. Same problem when dealer diagnosed prior to replacement.

When asking dealer it's like talking to 5 year old. Costs big bucks to be a Dude.

If the car first is even height but develops the difference after sitting for some time there still is a leak on the side that gets lower.

I had the problem and after the dealer changed the air springs the problem was fixed.

Take the car back to them and if they don't fix it contact MBUSA. Perhaps they can help. Or take the car to another dealer.

2007 E550 airmatic ride height

MBUSA in online chat today came up with there is not a direct measurement for ride height in MM or inches. Original is done with an Electronic Inclinometer measuring angle of suspension units and only your authorized dealer - big surprise.

Now all they have to do is have a solution on how to make it last. 2001 Tahoe with air ride has 178,000 miles and had to replace one air shock at 162,000 and ride height on both sides dead nu**.
