Anyone have problems with your Airmatic?
I am really getting tired of taking my car back to the dealer. The Airmatic is always off. It sits high in the rear left. Any ideas of what could be causing this?

It seems my steering wheel pulls right, which would make sense for a low back driver side.. So when it gets warm I am going to take it back in.

Problems as well!
'04 E500 w/1200 miles on it. Sitting low in the left rear. Measured fender height from center of the tie. Fluctuates between same level and l" lower.
MB service "played with it" (raising and lowering) and got it to be even. Took back a second time. Sames drill all over again. They suggest replacing the strut if it continues.
Major problem is as follows. Airmatic has three leveling sensors: 2 in front (1 per wheel), 1 in rear (in center of the axle). So, there is no good adjustment in the rear.
Please post updates if more is learned.
Thx.
