SL/R230: alignment
alignment
I have a 2006 sl 500 with ABC. Just did a 4 wheel alignment at dealer.
The results are attached. For the line that says "Rear axle vehicle level ready for driving" the numbers before and after correction are in red which means "measurement is out of tolerance" . The numbers for the front axle are green and all other adjustments (camber, caster & toe) are green and within target data. The rep, not mechanic, told me that the "Rear axle vehicle level ready for driving" cannot be corrected. Only with extensive suspension work and that the "red' results are due to settling and the car being so old. I really don't think he understood what he was looking at. Am I understanding this correct, one side is 4mm lower than the other? Cant the ABC ride hight be calibrated with the STAR diagnostic tool prior to the alignment?Thanks in advance for the response.

Is that what those numbers mean on the alignment that the rear is not the same height on each side? Shouldn't they calibrate ride hight before doing an alignment?
Also my steering wheel doesnt go back to center automatically when driving. It was the same before the alignment too. Is it just the way these cars are? It goes back but just not to center. Needs a little help.
Thanks
