CLS Airmatic shocks farts
Hello guys,
Coming from W211 E550 with airmatic shocks, I am no stranger to airmatic shocks. However my old ride will slowly let our the air and you can hear them very faintly. However the CLS will just let out a big burst of air and it's pretty loud compared to my E550. So a lot of times, I just jokingly tell people who heard it that my car just farted. :P Is this a normal sound? I never heard anyone mentioned anything like this here, so I want to assume mine isn't very normal.

blue00r6,
You are right, I thought the whole thing was air (shock and spring) until someone told me I have an leak in the shock.
Cool! You guys make me feel at ease, because I am so afraid talking to people next to my car when I just parked. lol
