No Arnott replacments for front airsprings?
3 months after buying my 2010 E 550, Airmatic is going out. I love the way the front looks slammed but i hate waiting 30seconds to drive off before and after work while the car levels out. The rear looks fine, just the front is slammed. Looking on ebay then Arnotts website im not finding anything for the front. The diy i found on here shows the rear being changed. Is it a different process for the front?

I did the rear air springs on mine with Arnott, so I've become familiar with their website, but it's straightforward. I believe, BTW, the proper phrase for the front is "air struts" as opposed to the rear of the W212 where the strut is mechanical and separate from the rear "air springs". Searching briefly, it doesn't look like Arnott makes a replacement front strut for the W212.

Just went on their web site...and still couldnt find any front ones by Arnott..just the rear.
well here is a little note.... struts from a cls 2012-14 will also work and is exactly the same strut with a different part number. Maybe you can search more about it. They are interchangeable.
also you can go on car-part.com and get a used one like i did. For about 300 bucks.
good luck.
