Might be the hyd shock on that side or the sphere is going bad. --R Bill Gallagher wrote: It happens most of the timenotice the rear end is tilts downward about 2 inches when parked on a level surface but some other days, a rare few now, it is level .

Re: [MBZ] Rear End tilts down a bit on Left side
I do have a small leak at the input side of the control valve which I saw a couple of months ago, strut has no leak and recently had to add a pint or so to the full level line... I'll fix the leak first and see what happens . It only raises after a hour or more of driving sometimes . About a year ago, loaded up with 800 lbs and normally the rear end rises on start up but this time it did not. After about a hour of 70 mph driving, the car was level .this sound like a check value problem???

Their usual failure is the nitrogen gas passing through the septum to the oil side. The system will still attain proper height and hold it but the ride deteriorates and becomes harsh. Johnny B.
