have you noticed the vsi change on the sprinter?leave suspension hanging but if its an lt35 jack it under the bottom arms like you should do!queried this with the messaging system on the computer and the reply boiled down to tough s**t,take it up with mercedes if you aint happy,as my reply pointed out it aint mercs thats telling me to jack em the wrong way its you bunch,if the instructions differ on two identical suspension systems then one of em has to be wrong,aint rocket science is it?gave up at the finish,jack it as per vsi,any problems take it up with vosa son.my queries will be on record so my ass is covered.

you have a tread depth gauge though? find 3mm and see if the play looks greater or less than that.
