HELP...Again!
Hello-
I wrote many months ago about my 2003 SL55 AMG -->it was "leaning" to the passenger side front wheel following approximately 1-2 weeks of disuse.
Unforunately, I am continuing to still have trouble. The car was looked at many times with no success. I changed dealerships and they replaced a "filter" last week (a factory rep had looked at the car and that was his suggestion) .....the problem is now WORSE (slightly leaning while driving and leaning more drastically following only a few days of not driving the car).
Apparently, the next step is to replace a "valve". I have been told by others that the strut should be changed-->this dealership said that the strut was "dry" so that is not the problem.
I am very frustrated and the car is extremely sentimental to me.
PLEASE...can anyone help?????
(P.S. I got the car 8 months ago after my father suddenly and unexpectantly passed away....I need for this car to be ok!!)

find a new dealer and hurry up and have it fixed before warranty runs out.
my dealer took 7 shop visits for it to be finally fixed... and they did everything above, including strut replacement... and the final attempt it was at the shop for 5 days.

Does the 03 SL55 have airmatic? Could be a leak?
One solution is to drive it every day
But yeah, if you can switch dealers again or just make a bid deal of it next time.
