My SL500 sits ever so slightly (ie. you need to be looking) higher at the left rear. It's maybe half an inch to an inch. It's the same irrespective of suspension height setting.

I'm suspecting a level sensor - any ideas? There are no fluid leaks or anyhting and everything works fine)

(Please don't say "take it to MB" frown as this will doubtless mean replacing bits at random until it's fixed. Or not)

I could just ignore it (it's very subtle) but it's like a dripping tap -it's sending me nuts!

l have the same problem on my SL55 AMG. l assumed the strut/shock had gone but maybe it's just a sensor?

Anymore thoughts/advice, etc?

The shocks aren't leaking, I have no fluid loss or anything and the car goes up and down as it should.

I'm thinking it's the sensor.

I'd take it to MB to be honest but I'm out of a contract at the moment and that's an expense that's very low down my list of priorities.
