Exclamation Suspension Help on 2011 E350 Wagon!**

So I know there are some threads on here but I wanted to pick everyones brain and get your thoughts! My car over nights sags down pretty low to the wheel well. but when i start it up the compressor raises it up completely fine. but if i let it sit over night, it drops all the way down. from what I'm understanding, its the air spring that needs to be replaced. there must be some leak in the spring. my make and model, (correct me if I'm wrong) does not have the airmatic suspension but a sort of hydraulic suspension. the mechanic is going to do a few tests to see if its possibly a hose leak or something. the air spring retails for $600 !! i found the OE discount parts site for $457 so its obviously better then 600 but still expensive as hell. here is the link. please help me out here and let me know what you think ! i will also post pictures!

SOME USEFUL INFO THERE

and im pretty sure you have the same air spring in the rear as 10-11 550s , so it should cost you around 250 if you get one from Arnott or you get a rebuilt one.
check out those threads you will find eveything.

Thank you ! So did I buy the wrong part ? I gave them my VIN , make model and they gave me something a little different . $457 is a bit steep but it's a lot better then $600!

That is So funny, Hi Tracy! Just had to post a few pics and ask some veteran MB owners there two cents, and to also see if there are any underlining issues. You've been a life saver for me!!
