e550 airmatic problems
hey first post, my 2010 e550 used to drop to the ground in park but now won't rise at all, I have replaced the pump and the leveling valve, kind of at a loss, perhaps the struts leak, is there anyway to test them prior to randomly replacing them, also is there a cheap but reliable aftermarket alternative? thanks in advance for any help....

Just went through the same thing and if you bought a valve block from anyone other than MB that is probably your issue . I ended up taking mine to a shop and was informed that they usually don't work and they ordered one from a MB dealer and all was good .

so I bought an air compressor and pressurized the fronts independently and the left front just blows out by the tire, the right seems fine, no leak.... where can I find a left front air strut?

you kinda limited on the fronts , hard to find. So your options are not that wide.

So now I will throw this in. Very weird.
If if I leave my car on sports setting over night the rear of the car drops down. Both sides evenly all the way.
If if I leave it on comfort it does not drop down. How is this even possible?
