I bought a 2016 G550 about a month ago and I have noticed that the back 0f the wagon is leaning towards the drivers side by about 10/16 of an inch. The front end is not .The wagon has about 14,000 miles and has never been in a wreck and is Mercedes Benz Certified. Part of the certification included alignment , oil change , new tires , brakes , rotors,wipers etc. (I don’t think they noticed the leaning of the wagon when it was getting Certified). Any thoughts about what could be causing the leaning?
Are you noticing this in your garage at home or work, or in random parking lots? I had a 2016 G550 for about 14 months. When I was parked at home, in our garage...my G also slightly leaned to the driver's side. I did not notice it in other garages or parking spots. Perhaps it could be your garage too?
Also, 2016 was (I believe) the very 1st year the G-Class got air suspension, and the 550 was much softer than the 63 & 65. It could also be the air suspension leaning/dropping slightly on the driver's side, and then the G "rights" itself once started.
The Gs do NOT have air suspension..But some do have a lil lean in them from what I heard. Both my G63s did not have any when stock.
Yes, the G's indeed do not have any air suspension (except 2019 MY+). The G's do lean a little bit - my G also leans a little from the factory to the driver's side. Pretty sure this is normal due to the hand built nature of the car.
Beginning with model year 2016, Mercedes debuted a new adaptive damping system with Sport and Comfort modes on the G500/G550 models. Is this not done with air? Sorry, if I misspoke!
All the G-Wagen lean to one side or another. Its a factory issue.
I didnt do this i just get some spring spacers from polybuchen.de and get the problem solved!
