E63 w211 Alignment / Suspension

To those who know... What's the probability of getting this car into spec? 130Kmi on the car, air suspension/ struts were replaced by benz around 80K. I've put around 5K mi on it and do not see any out of the ordinary tire wear. Bushing and joints check out.

While driving the suspension feels good, however when I go over a speed bump It sounds like there are loose components.

Calibrate the air suspension. If bushings and ball joints are good your right front is way too low and the left rear way too high.
Perform advanced search under my name plus look at my reply today to the E550 owner in the W211 sub-forum and download the attachments.
Edit: raising the front right may correct much of the left rear error. Front camber -1.4 +/- 0.3 degrees. Rear camber -1.7 +/- 0.5 degrees. Camber related to inclination angle of front end steel control arms and rear axles. You want the inclination angles to match side to side. Fronts are independently adjustable.
