Question SL55 AMG - Why does it feel like I'm running someone over when I reverse???

Hi all,

Wierd one on my SL 55 AMG.

Sometimes when I start to reverse, the O/S rear shock absorber raises up then lowers back down again. It gives the same sensation as running something large over :p

Almost like reversing over a huge brick!! It then settles down and drives as it should.

Any ideas?

Cheers

possibly the parking brake is not 100% totally disengaged before you shift from Park to Reverse?
