2003 E class self leveling suspension

[Andyn666]

Hi,

Drove 300miles to my parents last night with no problems at all. Unpacked the car and half an hour later fount the drivers rear on the bump stop. Started the car and it rose up but not to full hight.

This morning it was still at the same hight, drove my mum to work and when I stopped and got out it "self leveled" itself to the bump stop, again only on drivers side.

Drove it home, after it rose again, and jacks it up, found the front level sensor bracket has broken.

So question is does the self leveling system use the front sensor? There for meaning once that's sorted all will be well?

To stop any confusion it's just got rear air suspension not on all 4 corners.

Thanks
Andy

All sorted, for reference, it does affect the self leveling suspension, so if you have one side down to the bump stops at the back, check the front level sensor is still attached to the suspension.

Part was only £22.99 from the dealer and they had it in stock. Easy to fit, wheel off then take two nuts off and put the new arm on.

I thought about welding it but for the price I figure I might as well replace it

210 is very easy I find!
Two gas spheres, two hydraulic rams, a leveling valve and a pump.

Well it's back on its bump stop so it looks like it needs a new bag.
