01s55 amg... ride height issue ??
I just recently took my 01 s55 amg to the shop and the ride height in the front look as if the right side is lower noticeably lower than the opposite front side... I had this car for a year mechanically has been great. Just replaced the front two control arms and a ball joint... I'm taking the it back to the shop to adjust... what is the ride height suppose to be in the front and back?

I'm having suspension and steering work done on my '99 E55 today, and also had work done on my E500. There's a spec, and your mechanic should be able to read it on their star.

Sorry thank you for your response all i can say is i have been ripping tires off on the old set of rims i bought her with, I had to get her sitting on some nice thick Mercedes metal rather aluminum spinner:0.... So yes the chassis is W220.073 or W220.173 update on my benz been working haven't had time to go to mechanic also high mileage beautiful engine takes everything on road. So i was coming home from the beach and ABC DRIVE CAREFULLY RED indicator popped up yes i drove home yes i know may have damaged whole system may need flush than flush again and still may have problems in future... honestly stupid enough i was so hype in getting new brakes rotor having some more fun and parting ways and getting next year and find myself a turbo, but so ABC system seems be leaking back right wheel wet underneath control arm and all most parts wet right on right back wheel. So yo the best of your knowledge ABC system screwed best solution take to Mercedes Dealers and pay arm and leg part ways knowing had good time dump money into something faster have 01 s55 sit in garage look at admire fix little bit rust on back n side other than that the white shines. And get NEW ABC system from 01 s55 amg throw on a great engine. What are your guys thoughts seems to be leak in back ride other spots seemed to not have any fluid completely dry except back right (my question is if whole system were to fail would it leak from back right wheel all over. anybody history with amg suspension. Great car love driving daily... Anybody have similar experiences i tried do everything myself this suspension system too complex have come to the experts to learn and see where i am right now because i will not start again without more knowledge dont know if new car best option of taking to dealer since if i taker to dealer tow cost other cost etc etc. i have a garage would love to do my self. what are you guys thinking

if your airmatics are bad i had a friend with a s500 that swapped the air ride system with conventional shocks/ springs .. for a fraction of the cost .
