BIG ISSUE...HELP!!

i recently got a CPO 15 S550 sedan. I am noticing when I go over potholes or any cracks in the road the rear of the car almost kicks out or bounces from side to side. Hard to describe. And a creaking or cracking thumping sound comes from the rear passenger side tire area. Any one have any idea what this could be???!!!! Additionally, I noticed the other day that when the car is not in the “rise” position the pssenger rear side is visibly in a higher position vs the rest of the car almost like the aromatic is failing on that side

i have read through the forums and saw with w221 similar symptoms and people said it was automatic leakage and I’ve also read some other things.. anyone with a W222 Have this problem or know what this may be?

For reference i have the 19 inch sport amg wheels and brand new SSR conti tires... car passed all CPO checks btw.

any help is appreciated.

Sounds like a leaky Airmatic system. Get it to the dealer, they will fix it. Could be a bad air strut or blocked air manifold.

I don't know why Benz can't get this permanently fixed. It's been a problem since 2001. My 2002 CL500 did this.
