2011 212 E350 CDi Estate rear suspension too high maybe..

[weds]

I have a 2011 212 E 350 CDi Estate, I think the rear suspension is too high. Due to the rear dropping I have had both the rear bellow units replaced and the air lines. that cured the problem dropping then later on I had a link arm snap on the level sensor. I replaced both sides and set them the same length as before.

I have a iCarsoft Diagnostic tool and reading the level sensors I get -3mm for the left and -18mm for the right, not sure what these reference to. There doesn't appear to be any way of setting these up, I assume its probably a dealer only adjustment. If I measure the car height taken from the middle of the centre cap to the top of the wheel arch I get 365mm for the left and 390mm for the right, so there is definitely a difference between the 2.

What does the panel think ?

I'm thinking I'll need to adjust the sensor link arms to get the correct height, could anyone with the same model measure the height they have between the centre cap and the top of the wheel arch please.

Mine sits at 375mm In sport setting. Whose airbags did you use as a matter of interest?

Thanks for that I, that's a thought does sport mode lower the rear suspension ? I only have the Man/Sport/Eco button. I made a bit of a cockup and bought 2 right hand Aerosus units, my Indy was fitting them but I didn't realise and neither did they till they tried to fit the L/H side with a R/H unit, so in the end they changed it with I think a Mercedes part, rather expensive if I remember..

Sorry my mistake, my car has full airmatic so has comfort and sport mode and I always leave it in sport. I think the problem you’ve got unfortunately is that the airbags are from different suppliers so levelling up will be a problem.
