2003 S350 Airmatic problem

Hi all

I have a problem with my 2003 S350. The rear suspension is about an inch or more lower than the front suspension in the normal setting even with the car running.
I have the car checked and there are no airmatic faults present and went through a calabration programe ok.
The system appears to have no major air leaks and will raise to the highest setting in about 30-40secs.
And the suspension does not drop overnight.

Anybody have this problem before??

i haven't, but you could fiddle with the rear height sensor. Some people like washers to adjust the height, but thats usually to lower it.

if there is no problem with the system, it may just be that you're noticing that the rear fender arch is lower that the front fender arch since the rear wheels don't turn.

Dont think thats the isssue as i messured it on a level surface with the front wheels in the straight ahead position.
