Mercedes air suspension

[junglie]

Good morning,

The rear suspension on my S212 has gone down.



Compressor and bags fine and my Indy thinks it is the height sensors. I will get it fixed.

My question is that I am abroad for 3 weeks so is there any issue with it sitting like this or is it worth having a friend go around to fire it up every week / drive it to pump it up again?

I would doubt it.

Not much I can do really anyway

Can you rest the rear of the car on a pair of axle stands? Just wondering if that position is stressing any bushings beyond their intended range of motion?

[junglie]

Axle stands would be a great idea but I am not at home unfortunately.

I need to get it fixed as soon as I get back but it is worry / annoyance whilst I am away and just want the reassurance it will be fine!

Unfortunately, we can't assure you it will be fine but look at it this way.

The suspension is adjustable & it looks like it is currently adjusted low, so what?

It is unlikely to be an issue but no guarantees unfortunately.
