Sometimes look okay (balance) but most of the time SINK. Absorber Blistein (normal type) changed only 7 months ago. Not sure why like this... pls advice & THANKS ! andy

Good explanation to this is that there will always be a driver but not necessary a co-pilot to the car...

When my spring was removed from my car, I saw that the rubber mounting is just a piece of thin rubber, maybe should not affect the height that badly?

No wonder my front is so low, 2-3 fingers only, compared to the back. Speaking of suspension, can anyone tell me if it's normal for W124 to scrape road humps when fully loaded with 5 people in the car, even when going over humps at low speed? If so, what is the remedy? Increase the thickness of the rubber mounting?

Absorbers has nothing to do with the height, normally they are spring related. It is very common in cars that driven empty...only driver and no passenger or those with child seats on one side and a titanic of a mom on the other...this compresses the same spring all the time and causes some sort of metal fatigue, where that particular spring or even the rubber takes a new shape ---------------- Fo shizzle ma nizzle!
