Hello guys,

Hoping for some help, I'm at a dead end. I have a 2000 E430. Recently a front suspension spring broke but after the two fronts springs were replaced the front sits 42mm(1.65 in) higher than the rear. The tire to fender gap around the rear tire is uniform, the front is obviously sitting high. Verified the correct part number was installed with the Mercedes dealer (although it was ordered and installed by a local shop).

Mileage at replacement 115k.
E430 RWD
Spring part number: 210 321 3004

I've heard that the 4matics have a higher ride height. Maybe a 4matic spring? Anyway to verify against the part number?

Utlimately I need to know the correct spring length to verify. Can anyone find what the spring length should be? E430 RWD vs 4matic models?

Any help is much appreciated, Matt
