Front air suspension replacement help...

Hello, my front air suspension is shot. I know fcp euro offers lifetime warranty but they are $1600 each side. Any cheaper route? I’ve seen a rebuilt pair go for little less than $500 for pair. Arnott I believe. Is this the best way to go?

also I need front left axle as boot is torn. Are these rebuildable?

I would recommend Arnott. Have used them on my x164 and now my X166. Quality product and works just like new. I believe they also have a lifetime warranty but never had to use it. I had them on my x164 for 100k miles and no issues at all and rode perfect. Just had to put them on my X166 as the originals gave up at 135k. Rides like new again. I bought mine through Rock Auto, good pricing.
