Lopsided S Class

[tlzeebub]

Had my car parked on level ground and noticed that the car seemed to be lower on the n/s/r than on the o/s/r so i measured the height from the floor to the wheel arch and it's 6mm lower on the n/s, the tyre pressures are the same and when i raise the ride height the difference is the same anyone got any ideas what could be causing this, tia Chris

It will need calibrating first. You will need a Star for this. You may also have a slight leak too which can be checked if calibrating is not sucessful.

Mine's like that. New springs at front. Can't explain it. Though lower on os.

Ah! Mine has sls at the back, could that account for the difference?

But the S Class has Herr Suspension 'cos it's built in Germany!
The ride height on each corner is set by rotary pots. driven by small arms off the suspension members. There are possibilities of both mechanical and electrical issues which require calibration.
The pot. offsets can be checked and altered with Star.

Thanks BlackC55 i really must make a list of stuff to get done and come down to see you so that you can wave your magic wand and fix my car.
