My 2003 ML270CDI has done 28000km over 2 years and the front suspension has sagged by around 15mm measured at the wheel arch. I have wound up the torsion bar to regain the correct height but am now on wind-up adjustment limits on one side. Is this a common problem? Will the loss of tension continue or does it stabilize? The vehicle has not been subjected to harsh usage. I am still under warranty for another year.

But don't be surprised if they call it normal wear and tear. My rear shocks were gone at 24k...MB called it normal wear and tear. Just a word of warning.....
