Does your car sit lower on one side?
So, my neighbor noticed that my car sits lower on the rear driver side, the difference in its stance is very minor. I took the car into the dealership and the tech told me that all airmatic cars have a slight variation in their stance. Is this true? I do have a Carlsson LM, the tech told me that the LM would not have anything to do with the cars lean to the one side.
Anyone else have this issue with their car?

How much do you weigh? I've seen cars in the past that were owned by "bigger" people and over time the driver's side rode a little lower than the normally unoccupied passenger side.

I was waiting for that question. I am about 205 lbs, I don't think that is enough to mess with the car.

on every airmatic benz i've seen, the passenger side rear sits aprox 1/4" +/- lower than the driver's side. why there's only one sensor to control both rear corners is beyond me!!!

My drivers side rear is about 1/2 " lower , looks like its leaning. I raise the car then lower it and it seems straight. Must be the 230 Lb driver??
Definately looks weird, glad its not the strut again.

My passenger side was considerable higher than my driver side, both front and rear. I would say almost 1 inch. I took it to the dealer, and they told me they could perform some sort of suspension ride height adjustment thinggie for $170. It looks perfectly even know. I'm happy, though I'm prone to being ripped off.

2004 Mercedes Benz E55 AMG
Suspension issue
I recently bought a 2004 Mercedes Benz E55 AMG and absolutely love this car. I find excuses for me to drive it as much as possible. I noticed that the driver's side of the car sits lower than the passenger side, especially the driver rear, like an inch or more (and noway could it be for a road crown compensation). I have no warning light indicator and no noises. I only had the car for one week and have not noticed until today when for no reason at all I just wanted to look out the window and check out my car (lol). Does anyone know if there is an adjustment with the suspension that could be done or does this sound like an expensive problem for me in my first week of ownership? Any word of advice or similar problem info will be helpful. Now that I am noticing things on this car, I found that the inside passenger side light in the trunk is out and if you tap it's the light comes on and then goes back out. I closed the trunk and stepped back and looked at my tail lights and noticed that the passenger side is not as bright as the driver's side even with brake lights too. I think I am gonna stop looking at my new car so much, idk? Anyone have this problem with their lights?
