Mercedes 2010 E550 4matic
Hey! I just replaced one of the rear air springs, I disconnected the shock to allow more room to get the new spring inside the housing, and I was just trying to find the torque setting for where the shock connects to the spring link. I was thinking of removing the whole control arm, cause the old spring was extremely stuck, so I undid the sway bar and shock, and I found the sway bar torque settings in your replies, but I was seeing if you knew about the shock as well. Thank you for your time. Here is a photo that I made to help in case any of my terms are wrong.

2010 E550 4matic-

Heres a link to the online manual: https://charm.li/Mercedes%20Benz/201...d%20Diagnosis/

Look under Steering and suspension > Suspension > Suspension strut / Shock absorber.

Seems to be two install instructions and they both have For (489) (488). Odd.

Thanks. I appreciate it. I will have to save this manual. This helps a lot haha. I am going with the 489 version because mine has the airmatic system, so it should be 60nm + 60 degrees.
