Front and rear struts shocks
 

Hey guys i bought car w212 e550 4matic with airmatic suspensions couple days ago and my service guy says that i need 2 rear shocks they r original and 105k miles on them, so i cant find them and one more question about front ones with that milage maybe i need replace front ones also?

Heheheee..... I have a 2010 E550.... I love the car, but I had a jolt when I replaced my front shocks. 1500 piasters ea. and that doesn't include installation. But she's worth it..... :>)))

Wow 1500 sounds expensive lol and rear dealer told me 707 each anything cheaper on the market not from dealer like aftermarket or from othwe w211 will fit or need exactly from 212 e550

Peace of mind consider replacing all four. Arnott aftermarket rear available, front coming soon https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...ml#post7530489

Please, do tell us how you feel after Arnott shocks installed.

I am planning to replace mine too.

FWIW, I used the Arnott rears on my E63. Absolutely no discernible difference in the ride or handling.

Here is part # for OEM shocks to comparison shop.

Had my driver rear arnott air bag for over a year..so far so good.

My 2010 E550 never needed any Airmatic spring or shock work while I owned it. I did have to replace the rear shocks (not air springs) on my W211 E550 with Airmatic. It was a fairly easy procedure from what I was told. The shocks are pricey, however. Looks like these are $600 or so, and should be replaced in pairs, especially with your mileage.

what were the symptoms of bad rear shocks?

The rear end of the car drops visibly when parked overnight.
