Driver side rear lower than rest of car
I have a 2007 E350 with 127,000 miles (without airmatic option). I bought the car used about 4000 miles ago. Not sure if this is a new issue or if it’s been there all along. I noticed this morning the driver’s side rear is ½” lower than rest of car. Using tape measure, driver side rear from ground to fender is 26”. Other three corners are 26.5” So we’re looking at a ½” offset. I checked, all tires properly inflated, car still drives very smooth. What could be causing this ½” offset? Are there any adjustments I can make on shocks ETC to raise the car ½”?

there are spacers above the top spring perch that are removable. Make sure you have the same on each side. I removed 2 on each side when I lowered my car. 2 spacers is about 1/2 inch. Not a fun job unless you know someone with the Mercedes spring compressor. I did mine without. Getting the springs out was a battle. I couldn't imagine putting factory springs back in without the compressor.
