The ride height adjustment is for both sides. You can't adjust each side independently.

[ddog1216]

where is location of ride height

[fastblackmerc]

It's on the Watts link, above the rear axle.

I responded to your PM.

If one bag is leaking, the system tries to do what it can with the other. The sway bar and influence from the front suspension effect left to right height in the rear as well.

ive adjusted the height sensor located driver side in the rear lowered it and still passenger side still higher than the driver side i raise it and same for some reason passenger is higher than driver side any help thanks

Did you read post #2?

The ride height adjustment is for both sides of the rear end.


THERE IS NO INDEPENDENT ADJUSTMENT FOR EACH SIDE!

[ddog1216]

is there anything else i can do to adjust height really sucks looking at it, ive read a few people have this problem but no fix that i read about

Your drivers side bag may be leaking, the passenger side is obviously adjusting itself correctly

Convert the car to Right Hand Drive. With the added weight of you now on the right side it may help balance it out. lol

Haha that could work! Just a little bit of work for the op.

Some Marauders are just slightly more crooked than others. How far is it off?

[Challenger]

My 2004 has the same problem and looks the exact same way. Right rear higher than the left rear.

[BeeDamn]

That's why I hate the airbags suspension :(

[1Marauder]

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.

[Challenger]

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?

[Challenger]

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.

[ddog1216]

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

[clmrt]

Would it be possible to shim the DS airbag?

[Challenger]

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.
