You do have your spare in there don't you?

Tom,

Thank you for the reply.

The springs I put in today are the Lesjesfors available on this site - and have the correct mercedes PN stamped right on them. I think these were OE. Im sure they are correct.

Springs I just took out had same ire size a the OEM's, but had half a turn more wire. Their only marking was 4 red slashes. No MB part # or anything like that.

Spare tire is in the trunk. All aspects of loading the car are correct. Full tank vs. empty tank hasn't seemed to make much difference. I need to add about 75 lbs of weight to the very rear of the trunk to equalize it.

Any other thoughts? I really want to fix this the right way and find out why its messed up for my own education and sanity.
