Mercedes CL65 W215 suspension problem

Was driving the CL65 today and today the Air suspension was acting up. Was wondering if anyone had any clue what it can be? Whenever I make even a slight turn or a full turn (left or right) I can feel one side of the cars suspension drop significantly like a car with hydraulics. Anyone know what this can be? It happens with ABC Sport on and off. Also the car always seems to level itself out, but when I woke up this morning the cars rear left wheel looked slammed from the suspension being low in that particular area. Any help will be appreciated.

Yikes...ABC issues are always $$$$. Could be a compressor, line or individual corner issues. Unfortunately not easy to ditch for a regular suspension so you will probably have to bite the bullet to diagnose and repair.

Car is warrantied so I'm not too worried. But it just didn't seem good. My best guess could be a cornering issue with the air suspension.

Well, I had the same problem in my R230 SL55, the ABC problems will get worse if you dont get to the bottom of it.

So would my best bet be to drive it without ABC Sport on? I can't get it into service ti Saturday at the earliest.

It won't make a difference if you drive with it off or not. I would say just to take it as easy as possible til repair time...I assume you have a 3rd party extended warranty so I would double check to make sure that specifically the ABC system is covered...Iv'e seen from experience that some of the highest quality warranties NOT covering these certain Items. Hope all goes well with you.

Thanks, I'm about 125 miles from home (Naples/Ft Myers to Fort Lauderdale), so I hope I'm fine.
