UpDate:
I and my mechanic spent over an hour at the local Benz dealer, trying to find what was causing the back end to be so high.
FOUND IT.
The rear shock abosrber supplied by the dealer to my mechanic were not the proper part number required for my car. On the 260E, there are 2 different shock absorber no., depending on the manufacture date. The parts guy (a new guy on the job) took the first number in the catalog.
Without even asking, the dealer replaced the shock absorber on the car (no charge) and offered my mechanic $100. for lost time and trouble. The car is now back at the proper height.
Not all dealers are stealers.
