car sitting lower than normal?

V8, sportline and facelifted W124s (except the diesel) sat a bit lower than normal - a few mm - mostly it looked lower because of the rocker sill trim leaning forwards at the front wheel.

There is one part on a V8, sportline and E320 W124 that makes the front suspension very expensive to repair - its the ball joints, they are not replaceable like other models (e.g. diesel)

the whole arms need to be swapped - quite a penny.

If the front tires have bad camber wear then a ball joint inspection is must, if they are shot - dont drive the car, you may total it and also injure yourself too.

the joints need to be checked by jacking the lower control arm and levering the spindle upwards.
