2003 SL55 AMG and 2000 Limited Edition SLK
Help.....again!
Hello-
I wrote mamy months ago about my 2003 SL55 AMG--> it was "leaning" to the passenger side front wheel following approximately 1-2 weeks of disuse.
Unfortunately, I am continuing to still have trouble. The car was looked at mamy times with no success. I changed dealerships and they replaced a "filter" last week (a factory rep had looked at the car and that was his suggestion)....the problem is now WORSE (slightly leaning while driving and leaning more drastically following only a few days of not driving the car).
Apparently, the next step is to replace a "valve". I have been told by others that the strut should be changed--> this dealership said that the strut was "dry" so that is not the problem.
I am very frustrated and the car is extremely sentimental to me.
PLEASE...can anyone help????
(P.S. I got the car 8 months ago after my father suddenly and unexpectantly passed away...I need for this car to be ok!!)

so does the car have the hydraulic ABC suspension or the Airmatic suspension?
I'm guessing that it has the ABC suspension. If that is correct and the outside of the strut looks dry then I would more than likely suspect the valve block is faulty for the system. I have seen more than a few fail with this problem and installing the new Valve Block fixed the problem.
