Alright guys im a total beavis, I had the merc up in the air today and still couldn't find the switch, adjustor, slider, or whatever it is that allows you to adjust the air ride so that it rides flat in the back. Does anyone have a visual? Thanks again for your unwaivering patience. Oh yeah, and my mechanic was under their with me with the same hovering question mark.

Drivers side of the watts link. Start at pumpkin, find swivel on top. Follow to watts link arm (curved stamped metal bar) towards driver's side. About 2/3 the way toward where the watts link mounts to the frame. It's a slider with an 8mm and 10mm bolt.

IIRC, move approx 1/2" towards outboard to level an otherwise stock car.

I remember seeing a diagram from a service manual posted a while ago. I will search, but do not hold your breath. I am sure one of the guys will post one up tomorrow.

Thanx partner much appreciated, and one full coil is what should be cut out of the front springs for improved handling/appearance? I believe I have read in previous posts that that is what you have done to yours.

Yep, cut one full coil. I won't give you any grieff on the level ride height sensor, but I would be looking for a new mechanic if he could not find it.

I'd question my mechanic.

If the mechanic can't find the ride height sensor, he shouldn't be called mechanic.

Anyways. Cut one full coil, slide the thing about 5/8" toward driver side and enjoy.
