Question to all the lowering gurus...
Hey guys,

i took my car to the MB dealer in order to see why one of my rear wheels sits higher than the other. the tech looked at it and said that " i have a lowering kit installed on it, and they used washers to fool the sensor and therefore lowering the car. your problem is that one side needs more washers, and we dont have those washers, take it back to where you got it lowered"


thing is, I bought the car used like this. is it something I can tackle myself?

IMHO, I would have the dealer remove all washers and get it back to stock height.
