Air Shock Problem

Looking for any suggestions why on my 01 S600 every time I come to a complete stop it feels like the car starts to rock or move up and down from back to right and left to right. I'm not sure if this is airmatic suspension related or what. The car currently has 57k. Looking for any feed back please. Thanks

My experience with the S600 is very limited; but from what I read, it has spring struts supplemented by a hydraulic ABC (Active Body Control) system. It does not have Airmatic.

The ABC system stops nosedive upon stopping, and controls body roll while driving. Given the problem you describe, I would have the ABC system checked.
