    Its sounds like the air suspension has collapsed in the right front corner. You're headed to the nearest MB dealer for repairs on that one.
    For whatver reason, the air-strut or the air supply to that strut has failed causing the right front to sit low.

    Reading extensively b/c I have the same issue I found that the airbags attached to the front shocks can fail causing loss of air and essentially no suspension. Replacement of the front shock assembly is the fix. I have priced them online between $400 and $600 for re-manufactured units.
