SL63 AMG 2009 leaning on one side more than the other
Hi all,
I have an SL63 AMG 2009, and last week, i had a blown rear tire, i replaced with the spare, car raised up all the way, and it seemed to be, it was due to using spare. i replaced both of the rear tire and when i lowered the car to normal level/sport level, i noticed that the car is leaving on side more than the other, i tried raise and lower the care multiple time, but same issue. not sure if it's ABC issue or Suspension sensor ?
Any idea please ?

Any pics?
Pretty good chance it's just the sensor. I hit a pothole a while back and knocked mine out. I was kind of HOPING it was the ABC just so I could make the insurance pay.
No such luck. New sensor and it went right back where it was supposed to.

Thanks a lot, same here, i hit a pothole too.
I will take some picture and post them here today, but it may not be noticeable.
do you think i can replace the Sensor myself or do i have to take it in ?
i just called in and they gave me a quote of about 700 $ to replace the sensor , if it was the issue .

And if it's leaning and there is NO hydraulic fluid on ground... I'd be willing to bet it's the sensor.

I live in Arizona, and not sure if there is any euro shops around. yes leaning on one side " front and rear", and no hydraulic fluid on ground, is there away to rest the settings also do you think it's okay to drive it around until i get it fixed ?

Ah, ok, yeah depending on what part of the state you're in there should be some people to handle it way cheaper than that. I know Scottsdale and Tucson both at least have some shops that know what they're doing. Been a while since I've been out there though.
Mine was sitting all the way down on the wheel so I had to tow mine. I wouldn't wait on it too long. The ABC sure won't love it - especially if you hear the pump running. I'd try to get it in right away. Anything to prolong the ABC as long as possible would be wisely spent.
