W212 2010 Mercedes E550 Airmatic Rear Strut Replacement

Put this video together to help out anyone who's had issues with their aromatic and would prefer doing it themselves then spending tons of dollars going to the dealership or a mechanic. Wish I would have had this when I replaced the front air struts. So this videos for anyone who rather replace the air struts themselves and take it to a dealership spending ridiculous amounts of money to do the job that's actually pretty easy with the right tools. So here you go.

Great timing, I’ve been getting this in the mornings 😱

Where did you go for parts? The rear passenger appears discontinued via the dealer for my 2010 E550 4matic. I read that it’s recommended to install aftermarket air springs in pairs as they can effect the height leveling.

Great video tutorial! Looks like a surprisingly easy replacement.

I got Arnott air springs for rear thru Amazon.

Very helpful tutorial. I plan on tackling this job on my '11 E350 wagon when the spring comes...too cold in the Northeast to crawl around underneath the car in the driveway. I plan on replacing both of the rear OEM air springs even though only the left side drops because my car has 100k miles and it's just a matter of time till the other one starts leaking.
