2018 E400 Coupé
Up on blocks

I purchased this 2018 E-class coupé a few months ago. This is not a daily driver, I live in Atlantic Canada so it lives in my heated garage until April when there is no more salt on the roads. It has 23,000km, I decided to take the weight off of the suspension for the winter, I understand these air suspensions can be problematic. Any advice on this suspension would be greatly appreciated. Of course I'm still under factory warranty. There is some leakage on both my front air containers, I don't know if this is normal.

Arnold - she's a beauty. I do not have the answer to the Air Body Control question, but I do want to ask how you jacked it up to put the jack stands under it? Did you use the rear differential as a jack point in the rear or some other spot?

Are you joking? Asking us if leaks on a car under warranty are normal? Of course it is normal, it is Mercedes but get them replaced, please.

Blocks are good .. no flat spots on your tyres.

First, I ordered a Mercedes jack point rubber adapter off amazon, but that did not fit well. I made one from wood, that worked well. I know tire shops love to jack your differential, but I don't like that. I have two low profile industrial hydraulic jacks, I needed both. I used the jack points to lift the car then put jack stands ( I have lots of those ended up using 5) on the suspension supports where the swingarm attaches. I would alternate jacks and jack stands until everything was on the stands.
