just curious, what do you mean by sinking overnight. I noticed the E550 rear looks slammed in the morning. I don't really know what is normal... Thanks in advance.

well, the rear end was leaking from the suspension on the parts I posted pix of.....^^^
and in the morning the rear end would be sitting on the tires, literally on the tires...couldn't get a sheet pf paper between them....
it would shoot right up whenever I started it and didn't seem to affect the handling
or driving, but I did want it to NOT be doing that you know?
guess it's possible it could be happening to your car if you're finding it to appear slammed as you said......It rises back up when you start it right??
