Proper Ride Height for 2011 E350 4Matic Wagon?
Seasons Greetings- I recently inherited the vehicle in my sig, it has the Sport/AMG suspension. Looking at it from the back in my driveway it looks to be sitting low. What is the stock ride level for this vehicle? I assume it is measured from the top of the fender to the ground while the car is started and in park. TIA

No suspension warnings? You know you have rear airbags, correct? Perhaps you have a problem with it.
Congrats on your ride!

No warnings and yes I am painfully aware of the airbag design. Curious if anyone knows what MB intends as the factory squat position for the rear.

Measure the distance from ground to each fender arch after a drive, or with engine on. From what I remember MB allows 19 mm differences, what becomes visible, but still technically OK.

I think between any of 4 points.
The point is that it is pretty loose tolerance. I had my wagon occasionally leaning on 1 side, so I measure it and turn out it was still within tolerances.

To properly measure ride height by Mercedes Benz standards, you need a Romes Gauge. This tool measures the angle of the lower control arm. Now you can adjust the rear or the front without using the tool but you need to know what you are looking at as far as values and you will need Xentry software.
