ML320 CDI (2006) - Airmatic - height differences

Hello everyone!

I just got a used 2006 ML320 CDI few days ago! Fantastic car so far!

However there's one thing that started to bug me - some minor height difference each sides (Car has Airmatic)
Measured the distance from floor (basis centre of each wheel) to center/top of wheel arch and following are the heights

Front : Left 83.5cm / Right 85cm (respectively 1.5cm diff)
Rear : Left 81.7cm / Right 83cm (respectively 1.3cm diff)

Is this normal? In comparison, I measured our older 2004 model 2nd car (non MB) which has normal fixed suspension and its seem all sides have identical height.

Pleased to hear!
Jay

I am not an expert at this but id check the height sensors on each wheel. clean the little ball-joints and grease them really good. sometime they get dirt and rust in them.
