Looks like it is time to replace one on the rear left. It has a slow leak, I'm thinking about replacing with Arnott air spring, any thoughts on that and if anyone or a shop in the Houston area who can replace it in a reasonable price? I don't think I can do it myself. please let me know. It is 2007 GL450 at 90k miles
from what ive read the best choice is arnott or oem, arnott has a good warranty, oem does not, arnott is less expensive... however some like arnott and some dont... kinda hard for us to make up our mind either on which to go with being ours needs fronts soon...
Arnott has had excellent feedback on both our front and rear replacement air springs for the X164. Arnott also has compete remanufactured OE struts for the front of GLs both with and without ADS. Arnott parts come with a limited lifetime warranty in North America and are backed by a 30-Day return policy.

So the million dollar question, anyone know a place n Houston area who is expert in replacing OEM with Arnott? My stealership will do only OEM. I'm new in the area and can't seem to find a reliable shop. I'm sure there there are several folks here from Houston area on this forum, please respond.
Thank you
I just replaced all 4 struts on my 09 GL with Arnott. Only the front 2 needed, but decided to replace it all. I have no issue with them. Ride is comfortable, and price was great.
The airbags on my GL450 have finally given up. I found a small leak on rears but the front one completely blew wide open. I'll be swapping all four bags and replacing the struts at the same time.
Soapy water sprayed on rear airbag shows where leak is coming from.
