hey all, i know this has been discussed many times, but i finding bits and pieces on different threads. Anyways i have an S550, thats on the ground, i have just replaced the passenger side strut, replaced the drivers side about 5,6 months prior. I drove it 2 days, one side seemed higher than the other, then the next day it was slammed all 4 sides, previously the passenger front was just low. i checked the 40 fuse and it doesn't seem to be blown. I think it might be the compressor, not sure if i hear it kicking on anymore or the valve block. i don have a star scanner, was considering buying a icarsoft MBII scanner to help diagnose the problem as I'm scared to even get it towed at this point because of how low it is. Any input or advise would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Send a PM to ALX. He's one of the few guys on here who really knows this stuff. The rest of us are just happy when we can work the radio.

I bought an MB 2 Scanner about 2.5 Months ago. So far im very happy with it.
I found a u tube review, here is a link.
I would say the Scanner has saved me about $300 for far. I paid $200.00...$100 to the good!
I hope this info helps you out.

My guess would be a blown airmatic shock or line somewhere. Then the pump may have burned out trying to keep up.

Compressor - check/replace relay see here: http://workshop-manuals.com/mercedes...ns/page_14849/ - have someone perform guided test with DAS or at the very least pull fault codes.

thanks, i have ordered one as well, pulled the trigger last night after 3 days of scanning the tube and net. Hope it wil offer some additional insight on my suspension woes.

that was my thoughts, usually just the blown side would dip, but all are down now... thats leading me to the pump, just don't want to buy one just to buy and that not be the issue
