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?
