My new 2004 E55 with brand new tires. I spent $320 for alignment and ride height adjustment at Fletcher Jones in Newport beach. The car is still sitting higher on the right rear. From the top of tire to wheel well I have about .5 inches higher on right rear side. Some have said this is normal, and built into the car. It drives like its on rails, its just a bummer looking at the passenger side sitting so high. Any other STOCK E55 owners have this same issue?????
Should I return to Fletcher Jones for a recalibrate????
Thanks for your replies....

YES!! The rear balance (side to side) is done by adjusting the opposite side front. In your case, if the opposite front is slightly raised, it will drop the rear.

Its at the dealer... they said they need it overnight to check for leaks.... What a joke!!!
Service writer says its all calibrated fine.... its just higher on the right, and he doesn't know why! How lame! I told him to raise the front left a little...... waiting for call back....

i've yet to see any e class with airmatic sit evenly in the rear. the main problem is that the rear only has one sensor for both sides (unlike the fronts that have a sensor on each) so you can't adjust the rear independently.

Good to know! I feel a little better... Thanks

Mine does this all the time. It will be even sometime and uneven sometimes. I have noticed if I drive the car like a baby and avoid big bumps it will sit low and even on both sides. If I drive on rough surfaces it automatically raises the car. Try sitting on a flat surface and raise the car with comfort mode on. Then lower the car and put it in sport 2. I've noticed "most" the time it will lower all the way and be "pretty" even on both sides. Goodluck!

The Dealer says everything is perfect! Thanks for the tips.
