Hey gang, does anyone know the steps using STAR to remove the air from the rear air spring?

 

Go to "control units", "chassis", "airmatic", select which air bag you wish to work on, follow on-screen instructions.

 

That seems easy enough! have you done this before? I'm finally getting around to installing my rear adjustable control arms that have been sitting in my garage for a year now and I was told it's easier to install them with the air spring taken out.

 

I just performed this procedure this past weekend when I installed a new set of Arnott air bags in the rear of my '05. Before you pull the air bag, purchase two of these plastic clips.

Suspension Air Bag Clip (Rear Left Upper, Rear Right Upper); Part #: 211-328-00-58-M22

These clips hold the air bag to the car and the originals are going to break when you pull the air bag.

This is the W212 forum and I don't think the newer bags have any clips like those on the older W211.
