E500 4matic Suspension Repair
I would like to replace the air ride strut on my 2004 E 500 with air ride suspension. The drivers side is sagging by about an inch. Any words of caution or helpful hints? Thanks, Tony

OK so both front struts if I understand you correctly! Is it a "simple" replacement, or is there a "special" procedure since they are air ride with adjustable settings? Thanks, Tony

This should help also disconnect both upper ball joints and both sides of the front sway bar. Be careful with air lines and wires.

IF you run into issues ask on this site to solve the issue.
AND DON"T let all the air out of the strut when you get it to install or you might damage the seals. You can reduce pressure but don't go to zero.
