ride height

[MyBlackBeasts]

Mine is too!!!!! Drives me crazy. There has got to be a fix. I really don't think my right is leaking.

May not be leaking but may be more worn than the other side (think balloon). Install a new bag, the walls will be stiffer and the same air pressure in the bag will = increased height over the old worn bag.

Good luck with the repair.

These cars are old, find the problem. It is not fixed by a ride height adjustment. Broken or sagged front coil, leaking (or just old) air spring. Make sure you are checking parked on a dead flat surface, of course.

Don't be afraid (or too cheap) to replace old parts. No 10 year old coil spring is still any good in my book. Or air spring for that matter.

Strutmasters.com has easy solutions. I took air springs out and converted to eiboch springs with new shocks all around for under three hundred on my town car. Im sure they have same kit for the mercs. Also they have reg air suspension parts as well.

I have new airbags and new rear shocks. Fronts also replaced. Still sags on the drivers side when parked on level surface. Bags don't leak. Will sit that way for weeks. Air goes in evenly with this system. Only way I see this happening is the solinods being told (via the air suspension brain box) to open and release pressure. Seems like more than just a few of us have this going on with the same drivers side issue.

You have new front springs or shocks?

Just new shocks on the front. The front sits level and when driving the entire system is well balanced. Only sagging when parked.

Spring sag, particularly on the drivers side, has been a well-known issue since forever. I don't know why you would assume your springs have not sagged after 10 years. I doubt your eyeball is reliable evidence there is not a spring problem. If it is level immediately after stopping then the other thing to look for is an air leak. If not, front springs.

There are only four corners to look for the problem unless the frame is tweaked. Unevenly preloaded aftermarket sway bar links are a remote possibility, but you don't sound like an aftermarket guy.

new airbags new solenoids new rear shocks new struts and coils new upper and lower ball joints and passenger still higher than driver side

Would it be possible to shim the DS airbag?

Brings me back to my original comment; it's the rear air suspension brain box. That's the only source that commands the individual solenoids to open or close, thus releasing air in the bag.
