One corner higher than others after installing lowering links
Hello new member here. I installed all new struts and lowering links on my s500. I noticed the rear passenger side is sitting higher than the others. I tried to get it calibrated but wasn’t successful the person who tried to calibrate it told me one the ride height sensors was off by a few mm. I’ve been messing with it and still no luck. Not sure what else I should check if anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it

Your lowering links are designed to fool the ride height sensors so that the car thinks the height is OK. Because this problem started with the installation of those links, they're likely your problem. Pull each wheel off (starting with the side that's high) and double check your work, it sounds like a link was installed incorrectly, or the sensor was re-installed incorrectly.

There are only three ride height sensors on the W220 - one on each front upper suspension arm, and one on the rear, between the anti-sway bar and the chassis. It doesn't seem likely that the rear sensor could cause your problem. Perhaps the right front sensor is not mounted correctly.
