Diesel320

Took MB r320 for its D service, after getting my car back from the shop, The next day while driving on the freeway I got a vehicle rising please wait message. I drove home and parked the car. the next day I went to start the car and it was "pancaked" on the rear wheels. when I started the car , I received a red " stop the vehicle is rising message ". Contacted the shop, they started the "its not if its going to go out but when" conversation. I reminded them that they diagnosed my car when I dropped it off, and there is no mention about my airmatic or my suspension. I also had them look and the power steering, they said I needed to replace my rack n piņon, for about 5k. I am confused because my car has never had any issues related to suspension until my dropped off my car. any help or ideas ??

looks like bad air strut whether it was coincidence or not...
