BK,
There are air shocks that help lift the car.
Gas shocks are pressurized, but merely to reduce foaming of the hydraulic fluid. They are usually higher quality than the non-gas shocks in a manufacturer line. So, if they lose pressure, they may not be as good a shock, but would not cause that corner to below.
I think.

I think it may depend on what kind of shocks are fitted. Gas shocks that lose pressure at one corner will do what you describe. bkSubject: Re: [diesel_mercedes] Sagging Rear End Date: Tuesday, March 15, 2011, 7:05 AM
Weak spring .These cars have the weakest springs,they need a muscle car spring to replace.

With Spring trying to make an appearance here in the Heartland, the wife has been 'encouraging' me to pull her 1980 300D out of winter storage. So this past weekend, I open the garage door and notice the right rear is a little low. My first thought was a low tire, which there was, but even when all tire are properly inflated the passenger side rear is one-half inch lower than the driver side. Now that doesn't sound like much, but it is quite noticeable. A peek under the car didn't reveal any obvious problems. Does this sound like a weak shock or spring?
