2002 S 430 Rear Airmatic Failure !
Hello My Dear Friends
Once again i find myself in need of your help
I just Picked up a 2002 S 430 With Only 99000 Miles
Got a really good deal on it , i was well aware that the rear air struts were collapsed when i bought the car i figured i would change the rear shocks and be done with it well i was wrong , i changed the rear shocks and the compressor and its still not going up , shame on me because i got the parts at a junk yard but it almost seems like no air is getting to the rear struts at all i am driving myself a little little looney here trying to figure this out
I have dealt with replacing fronts stuts on the W220 Many times this is my first time dealing with the rears any suggestions is there any things else it could be ?
