Air Suspension Unlevel When Parked?

Anyone had any issues with the air suspension being unlevel from side to side when parked? I have an S560 with the normal air suspension (no Magic Body Control). My wheels have noticeably different spacing from the top of the tire to the fender on one side vs another. I do not have any check engine codes or warning lights for the suspension though. Is this normal for some reason? If not, how can I diagnose? Would appreciate the input if you can shed some light on this.

Check linkages for height sensors for proper condition.

How is this done? Not familiar with working on these air suspension MB's.

Does it drop overnight? If not...

Put the car on tip-toes.

Look at the upper control arm. Look for the link that goes to the height sensor. Verify they are connected sensor to the control arm on both sides.

If they are it is time to plug it into Xentry and ask it for what it sees.
