They should know to bleed the system and it should have been done after the repair. Check your the RO with your reciept to see if that was listed. I'm not too sure what else might be causing it for you but it wouldn't be out of the question for the new part to be faulty. Take it back to them and let them fix it right, as long as its under warranty, nows the time to get it fixed.

I did take it in again and basically they said they find nothing wrong. In fact, the shop foreman told me that he has seen new untitled CL's on the lot that have dropped EVENLY in the front. (I believe a drop to one side is a totally different issue). I have also had several techs tell me that the fronts will drop after sitting a while. While I've had guys on other forums tell me that this is a bunch of BS, I'm not so sure. One reason is because my dealer has been so good to me regarding other problems I've had with the car and parts replacement. (Way too many problems with this car, BTW). I did contact MB Cust. Svc. in NJ but they tell me they back all decisions made by dealers.
Interestingly, I have been unable to find this problem (even front end drop) on any of the MB sites I visit. I think it may be because there aren't that many CL's with ABC, and of those that have it, there aren't many that are left sitting for more that a couple of weeks at a time.
As for the future, my factory warranty is up in a couple of weeks and then I go in to Starmark warranty which my dealer tells me would cover any ABC issues. So. I guess we'll see what happens. Thanks for your response.
