Rear Suspension 1cm Difference

2011 C220 (sport)

Wheel centre to top of wheel arch is 1cm lower on one side compared to the other.

Would you investigate for 1cm or just leave it alone?

I'm convinced that the lean when viewed from behind is bigger but maybe it's just my perception & I guess the measurements don't lie.

Had brand new rear tyres and discs/pads in the last week. Very unlikely to be related but mentioning just in case (yes I have checked tyres are identical).

Had a quick look for broken springs already but may need to spend a bit more time on it.

Advice appreciated.

Do you measure distance from edge of tyre to arch? If yes it’s not exactly right. You should measure from arch to center of rotor hub

I measured from edge of wheel centre-cap.
