Mercedes S Klasse Hybrid Suspension Issue

My 2018 Mercedes S Klasse hybrid has a warning light for height control restriction and misaligned low beams The car sits unevenly and the ride is bumpy I found an error in the suspension system Could a defective control rod on the leveling sensor be the cause

Suspension issue sounds like a pain Is the leveling sensor control rod visibly broken or disconnected Have you looked yourself Is only one side uneven or both It could be an air suspension leak I'm just throwing ideas out there I am not sure about the load sensor though

I haven't inspected the control rod yet I was hoping for preliminary information The unevenness affects the front axle more than one side Is there a way to diagnose an air suspension leak without special tools

If it's the whole front axle, maybe it's not one sensor For an air leak, without tools, it's tough You could listen for hissing near the struts, especially after the car's been sitting Soapy water on the air lines might show bubbles, but be careful With those symptoms and the error code, it sounds like something's up with the leveling system Maybe get it checked by a mechanic

I appreciate your insights I'll consult a technician The mechanic confirmed the defective control rod and quoted 110€ for the repair Your comments guided me toward a prudent course of action
