My recently purchased 500 SE has recently had new front shocks and springs, which is nice. However the springs can't be the right ones (compared to lots of other 126's which i've looked at to check!) as the height is WAY too high, I can get my fist in the gap with ease. Where is the best...

Hello, My CL leans to the right about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch (its noticeable if you look at the car on the flat) regardless of set suspension height on the toggle switch and doesnt sag on any of ther corners. Anyway, does anybody happen to know how much mercedes charge for the calibration or...

Hi, I have just had the rear coil springs replaced because the 'drivers side' had snapped. However, there is still approx 10mm difference on the drivers side verse the passenger side. Both new springs are OEM so are the front springs which were replaced 5wks earlier. I believe the rear springs...

My Missus has Arthritis in her spine and doesnt like a firm ride. If I set the ride height to normal, its a bit too firm for her, its not bad but we have just changed from a Lexus LS430 which went down the road like a boat. But if I set the ride to he middle setting, she likes it because its a...

Not sure which thread to post this in but I looking for the height from the normal boot floor to the boot top. I know the width/length would be fine for what I want but it would be really useful if I could find the height Thanks

Hi people, Ive just had all of the rear of my car rebuilt which is good but the ride height seems huge now at the rear. Can anyone tell me the correct height and how do I adjust it ??

Hi, my dad has got a GL and wants to lower the height of the car so my grandparents can get in and out easier. i have searched the forum and found it can be lowered by star or lowering links. The question i have is if you lower the car will it go even lower when you are driving on the motorway...
