Ride uneven with lowering links - how to fix?
My 2012 S63 is having some issues sitting level with lowering links.
I’ve made sure that both the links match perfectly in length on both the passenger and driver side, but the fronts and rear just won’t sit level. They are typically 1/2-3/4 of an inch off between the passenger and driver side.
if I adjust each link separately, I can get the car closer sitting level, but it throws an ABC fault after a few minutes of driving I presume due to the uneven lengths of the links.
Is this a common problem? Is there an issue with another part of the system? Everything works fine otherwise.

I had the same problem on mine, I just measured from the lip of the fender to the ground and adjusted the rods accordingly, i went one turn at a time, took a few tries, be careful pulling off the rods, you can easily damage the sensors.
