Ride Height Epic Failure

Anyone else having a problem with the left side of your 2011 E550 being like 6 inches (from the top of the wheel) higher than the right side of the car? Just had the snow tires put on and when the car came back I noticed this and this isn't the first time i've had a problem with my dealer!

My drivers side sits higher than the passenger side, but not 6"'s higher. Its about 1/2" higher, and drives me nuts.

Six inches difference is a lot. Have you found out what went wrong (e.g. did they put different tires at each corner?)

Regards,

I just checked....my E350's left side is also higher than the right side...about 1 inch higher though...not as big a difference as your 6 inch difference.

it sounds to be so.....mine was my fault though......
I'd certainly have some trust issues after that....

I'll never forget the time I was in the dealers shop observing some work, when I saw one of the dudes, (not a tech) backing a car up and opening the door while he was moving!!!! throwing the car into a giant jolt when it puts itself in park!!! you think these cats would know better......

at least they owned up to it..........

I would get that fixed. Cars with springs should sit
Level. Even automatics should sit level.
