2013 S550 4matic leaning on drivers
I have a 2013 S550 4matic. I just had the Upper and lower control arms replaced on the passenger side. When the car started to level, I notice the passenger was higher than the driver side by about 1 1/2 inch. The car also pulls to drivers side when I drive it.

I'm not familiar with the 2013 model year S-class but if the front of your car is equipped with Airmatic, you need to calibrate it. Takes about an hour and can be done without the fancy/expensive equipment called out in the Mercedes tech bulletins. I have a post or two on it titled "W211 suspension calibration" and it is not as difficult as it is made out to be.
If no airmatic, it will require loosening all of the suspension bolts, allow the car to settle via its own weight, then torquing all nuts to proper values.
