I have a 2016 SL400 and it seems that over the last 18+ months I’ve been experiencing more front bumper curb rash than I did previous (which was about none). Parking space stops that I previously cleared now are scraping my bumper.
I’m wondering if my car, over time, has lowered slightly due to aging shocks/springs.
Anyone else experiencing this?

 

Tire pressure lowers with age and temperature. Could be a factor or you, like me, need to be more careful when parking.

 

I understand what you’re saying but it seems like I’m scraping parking stops that I used to clear.
I guess I’ll be backing into all parking spots from now on.

 

I try to be careful and not pull too far into spaces with a concrete bumper but the front fascia sure is low. I had my front end repainted and a couple of days after picking it up I pulled too far into a space and scraped the underside AGAIN.
