Awesome vid ! I’m dealing with the same issue on my AMG . Where’s a good place online to buy replacement parts at a good price ? . And does your Benz have the active damping ? If so do you ran into issues lowering itself etc after replacing the front shock ? Thanks so much 🙏
Thank you for liking my video. In the video, I show you how to replace the front air suspension shock on a Mercedes CLS-Class W218. If you need to buy replacement parts, you can find them online at Amazon or eBay.
Sure, you can change just the shock and use the same bag if just the shock is bad. However, it will require some more work. It will be easier to change the whole thing. Thanks for watching.
I am having trouble removing the T-40 screw connected to the stabilizer link. Can you tell me please when you hold the nut with 18mm wrench and loosen the T-40 screw, do you turn the wrench to right or to left to get it loose? I can't see clearly in the video; can you please respond to this question asap cuz I tried working on my car 2 times and couldn't deal with the T-40 screw. I even broke 2 of T-40 screw driver bits in the process and I am beginning to think that I am turning the impact wrench the wrong way (left). I'd appreciate your help on this.
Use boxend wrench 18 mm to hold the nut turn the wrench left while you turn the T 40 torque socket with the wrench right so you turn them opposite and it should open up. Thanks for watching and good luck with your DIY.
In the description, let me copy and paste it for you. Torque specs: - Top mounting nuts: 30 Nm - Air pressure line: 2 Nm - Upper control arm: (stage 1) 20 Nm then (stage 2) 90 degrees - Strut to spring control arm: 165 Nm
Thanks for the video, it was very helpful for me, but I am confused about one thing. At 2 minutes and 4 seconds of the video you were talking about removing something using something you
I mean you can also use a 13/16 socket or 21 mm socket. So nice of you, Thank you so much!! Thanks for the visit. 😊Glad I could help. 🙏 Thanks for the like and thanks for watching.🙏
Air struts changed and now the air suspension button on the center console stays lit , but cannot raise or lower and pressing the button doesn’t change the light to lower position. Any ideas?
@ I think one of their right height sensors needs to be adjusted thru the calibration tool … Otherwise the car will not realize that it’s malfunctioning
