bl52krz Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Greetings I own a 2011 E350 Estate S212. Last night, I encountered a pot hole which caused the ride to become rough and uneven. After bringing the automobile back to my home, I examined the wheels and saw that the car is positioned at a greater height above the rear right/drivers side wheel. The left rear wheel seems to be at its regular riding height, but the right rear wheel arch looks to be elevated, resulting in a much larger gap between the top of the wheel and the wheel arch. I suspect that there is a problem with the air suspension, but I am uncertain about the appropriate starting point for troubleshooting. Is there a manual reset option available that does not need a diagnostic kit? Any recommendations would be very appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xsports Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I had a similar problem with my Cayenne. It was discovered that a level sensor connecting link had fractured due to impact from a pothole. As a result, the suspension automatically adjusted to the fully extended position on that specific corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bl52krz Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 Thank you for the responses. I believe I should schedule an appointment to get it elevated into the air. The level sensors seem really credible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsports Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 The visibility of the object should be apparent while the automobile is in contact with the ground, particularly if it is currently positioned at a higher level. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bl52krz Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 Exemplary individual, And an excellent video was shared, which suggests that the issue may be related to the arm's downward position causing an upward pressure on the suspension. I am optimistic that this is the only thing it could be. Thank you very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bl52krz Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 Brief update The link arm connecting the air suspension lever had cracked, just as advised. The arm linkage has been temporarily fixed, and I have purchased and received improved link arms from eBay that have metal inside. It is expected that they will become more resilient. We really appreciate the feedback and recommendations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bl52krz Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 The situation was. I purchased a set and subsequently had both items replaced. Fortunately, the technician only made contact with the plastic link arm on the side of the automobile that had not yet failed, causing it to disintegrate, when the car was being placed on the ramp for the purpose of replacing the arms. High-quality replacement components. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
