Rebuild Master Tech




Rebuild Master Tech air spring/strut

I need to do both passenger side bags. I actually heard the air leaking from the passenger front bag tonight. Not phantom air going in or around but leaking out. I've been searching around as we all do for prices. I looked at Arnott, Suncore, etc but I found this place that seems quite competitive. I know a lot of you have said Arnott are IT and I'm curious if I should try Master Tech or just take the safe bet and buy the others.

Arnott knows their stuff and is incredibly good about warranty support.

The only annoying thing about Arnott is they instruct the users to replace the air fittings, which I think is crazy. See lengthy discussion about this in other threads.

I'll take pictures when they arrive. $444 with $100 core in that price. $344 after return and that's rebuilt front strut with air bag and new rear bag.

Done.
First time I've done this job. I did the front and rear both in less than three hours.

Rides nice, seems to be the same as before. My old strut was ok but since I was doing it I figured I'd do strut and bag in front. Time will tell.

It's only been a few days but I'm happy to report that the suspension doesn't go down at night anymore. The truck actually seems higher on the passenger side since we kinda got used to seeing it sag. It's level it just seems high.

I'll try to give another update around New Years.

Bumpdate:

Ride is fine. Bags are air tight. I've experienced no issues and got my core fee back with no hassle after I returned the old strut.

I bought a 2011 GL350 in mid Nov. Driver front air spring had pin hole leak which deflated only when sitting at certain height. Dealer bought a remanufactured RMT and had it shipped to my house. Replaced it myself and seems to be running fine over a month later.
