Help! Suspension height difference
I just realized one side of my suspension is higher than the other parked on a flat even surface. Front left side I can barely fit 3 fingers gap, but on the front right, 4 fingers all the way in. Is this a common problem? Thanks

. Sorry couldn't resist. My car does that as well. Sometimes it looks lowered (because it is), and some times it looks, well slghtly lowered. It also bugs me but truly, I do not think that they can do anything about it. Let us know what happens.

You live in San Diego. You are going to take your car to Newport Beach for service???? Why not go to a dealer in San Diego or maybe Laguna Niguel. Just doesnt seem to make any sense to me.
Seems like something is wrong with airmatic
but I just checked on my car right now and everything is perfect.

I live in S.D and O.C. I hope they can fix this problem. Laguna Niguel is very un pleasant for me. They changed my oil pan, racked up 50 miles on my new ride, when I got it out of the lot, check engine light came on. Brought it back, waited another week then now the suspension is un even.

Yo, check with service department at MB of San Diego. Ask for Terry he will take care of you and yo pimp ride. You should demand why Laguna racked up 50 miles on your ride. That's BS!!! That's like traveling to San Diego from Laguna. What the hell are they doing testing the oil pan replacement. I would ask to speak with the shop supervisor even the general manager.

I would ask to why they racked up 50 miles, but I have yet to experience such a thing as you. Fletcher Jones was crap for me, they broke a windshield and a headlamp. I had to argue with them to get the damn car fixed. Heck they didnt even notice that the Alcantra headliner was missing on the E55 when the car came off the truck. I just had the headliner replaced a few weeks back, that was probably the most pleasant experience I had with Fletcher Jones.
Just make sure they fix the car, and thats what really counts.

Is your car even when running? My car sags on the drivers rear if I don’t drive it often but that is normal with an air shock. The air leaks out and the car sinks down. Depending on the shock it might sink a bit more on one side or another.
My car levels out once I turn it on and drive it for a second. I measured the car when parked for 3 days and then measured it after driving around the block. The drivers rear was .5 inches lower than the passenger rear when off but the car was totally even after being driven.
I would not worry too much if you have the same issue as me. Just the nature
