ML350 STRANGE SUSPENSION ISSUE
First off all I am new here and I will start with a Hello to all the forum members!
Problem:
My suspension lowers on the front of the car by itself when i go from a standstill. The front lowers about 1,5-2 inches and you can feel it from sitting inside the car, some air is let out and then in a matter of 5sec it lowers, when you come to a stop it's all good, the front of the car rises back up. Start to drive, back to normal. Nothing's been happening to the rear of the car. This is not speed dependent. When you go from 0km/h it starts lowering itself. I know the car is supposed to lower itself during highway rides, but not as much and not from standstill. (This happens 5 days in a week (for 2 days there can be no issues at all then the next 5 these strange manipulations happen)
Had a rear air bag issue last month which was solved with replacing the rear air bag. My was leaking slightly if the car left more than 2 days - passenger rear side lowered itself. So cannot be air struts up front. (Also checked with soapy water - no air leaks)
Checked the codes - none, sensors seem to work, disconnected the links and tried to alter the heights manually - all is operational. Links are the same lenght not bent/not damaged. Compressor is ok, relay also ok.
What could be the problem, have read on some local forums it can be the suspension module itself? But want to make sure before putting money in parts i don't need.
Is anyone familiar with that kind of an issue?
Pardon my English and long post but wanted to be detailed.
Btw, car has ADS if that makes any of a difference.
Thanks in advance
