Hi All,
I have an issue where my car is lower on the left side. tried searching but can only see it where peoples SLS wasn't working. I've tried to lower it and raise it a few times to cycle the system. but during the whole process, the left side is just slightly lower but does raise and lower no issues did it 5 times.

I can't tell anything from those photos. Measure from wheel center to fender lip as shown below... what is right vs left? And how much fuel is in the gas tank? Normal is ~14.5" or so.

will have to take tomorrow as its dark now but essentially from the tyre to lip its 2.5 on left 3.0 on right. tank is 3/4
 
How is the ride quality? While I have not experienced this issue on the w124, I have on the W126 and much of the lean was due to a worn (read compressed) differential mount. Granted, I have not looked at the EPC to see how many the W124 has, but the W126 has at least 3 IIRC, and the large one on the left was the culprit causing a "sag" to the DS or left here in the USA. Interested to see more of your ride quality with this. The age of your spheres and Spring Legs, their bushing status both in the boot and on the lowers.
