Need Suspension Help - Benzworld.org

I have a 2005 Mercedes E320 and when I put new wheals on the car, the front end suspension raised up. Now I have noticed that it raised up so much that the outsides of the two front tires are wearing and the insides looks brand new. I need to reset the suspension on the car, but the new models no longer have a switch to turn it off and on. Can anyone help me?

First, are you saying you don't have Airmatic suspension? Airmatic was available for the E320 even in the US with some sports package.

If you don't have Airmatic, there is not a lot of need to reset the steel springs or turn them on and off.

If you do have Airmatic, the springs do stretch out when the car is jacked (so do steel springs) but the car would level once you drive a bit.

Sounds more like you have an alignment issue.
