Mercedes W211 E500 Rear AIRMATIC Air Strut Replacement (W211 E320, E550, CLS500, CLS550 & More)

Video Description

► The AIRMATIC system in the Mercedes W211 chassis may be a comfortable option, but it is no stranger to failures. If you are seeing a light on the dashboard of your W211 chassis Mercedes-Benz that says "vehicle too low", it is likely that your air suspension has failed in one way or another. Most commonly this presents itself as the strut losing its seal and leaking air. Kyle Bascombe, our Mercedes Catalog Manager, is here to walk you through the steps needed to get this job done, from pulling the old struts out to installing the new ones and cycling the air compressor to let the new bag re-fill with air. This job is fairly straightforward and you won't need many specialty tools outside of the nice to have air line socket for that hard to reach area.
