CLS55 Rear Air Bag replacement
Hello folks!
My left Rear Air Bag is shot.
If there any DIY or someone have replaced the rear air bags in a CLS55?
I have read the computer controls the inflating/deflating of the bags??.
Can I just fix the left one only?
"Arnott's" has an air bag replacement, Plus "Strutsmasters" and "Suncore" offers traditional/normal coil suspension replacement.
What do you guys recommend?
Appreciated!
Vic

I would recommend getting the arnotts. They're not particularly hard to replace - I think theres a DIY on here somewhere. They should be replaced in a pair unless you decide to replace one side with OEM (requires dropping rear subframe).

I ask because I saw a video of an R 350 and the mechanic only lose the bottom part of the rear suspension w/o the whole subframe?? see below around the middle of the video
I guess the CLS55 is different??
I found a good OME working one from a 2009, so I'm planning to do only the left side for now to get the car going. I'm really considering converting to Strutmaster or Suncore springs to avoid future headache$$
