I have a C220 (W202 chassis) passenger side suspension is higher than drivers side

I have a C220 (W202 chassis). The front passenger side suspension is higher than the drivers side.

I have had this problem for a long time now. I've even had lowering shocks and springs fitted, but the problem is still there. Drivers side suspensions sits nicely.

I was guessing it could have been a bent chassis, but I'm no mechanic.

Also, I was wondering if anyone has the following parts in Merc Silver at a good price and in good condition:
Passenger side front wing
Passenger side door
Driver side wing
Passenger side rear 1/4 panel (Aerial side)
Boot

err before you start fixing up the paintwork- id get the chassis checked.
What's it's history?
To be honest, its only worth 1k so if its not straight I wouldn't throw any more money at it. There are lots of lovely clean straight 202s out there that would be a much better investment.

Mine is the same too.

What ever I do one side is higher than the other and it is the passenger side on mine too.

Is this discrepancy apparent when the cars are parked on level ground?

Yes, on mine

Ah well that rules that possibility out then.

if both the front and back are up then it could be a weak spring or something suspension if its only the front or back then the car is bent as a weak spring could not bend the car at one end ,we are not talking about a mattres here,are all the shut lines ok ,do the doors look right ,hope you solve it ,,,,frankie ,mcgovern glasgow
