<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Just purchased a used S430 (yr 2000 with 50K miles) from the 1st owner. I have verified with the dealer that he has always got all maintenance done at the dealer. The car is great. </SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 8.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o></SPAN>


<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Except while washing the car, I noticed that the rear right body is lower than the other three. I have ensured that all four tires have the same pressure. I also do not get any warning/error message from the dash. The maintenance option in the dash says "No Malfunction". While driving it, I also did not notice that the car make any strange noise or the tire rubbing the shock or any other part of the car.</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 8.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><o></o></SPAN></P>


<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Has anyone experienced or seen similar issue?</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 8.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><o></o></SPAN></P>


<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I hope it is not the strut that goes bad.S430 uses an automatic shock anda new one is approx. USD$1100. Is cause may be: (1) Leveling gauge goes bad (2) Leveling gauge needs reset (3) Leak. How much approx. to repair it labor &amp; part?</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 8.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><o></o></SPAN></P>
