Anyone had AirMatic Repairs - W166 GLE 63s?

2016 GLE 63s got an AirMatic Malfunction light with 20k miles. Don't know if issue is in the front or rear. The SUV has NO DROP on any wheel at all - so does this mean it's not an rear air spring, front air strut or air pump issue? Could one of the non-air rear shocks be bad? SUV still lowers with Sport + setting. Once malfunction light comes on it rides like a damn Buck Board.

You'd need to read the error with a Star Diagnostic system. Hard to tell from that error. Could be a faulty ride height sensor.

Try Arnott Industries for struts. They may also have the rear air springs too.

They have Interchange part numbers for my GLE 63s Front Struts and the Rear Shocks but their rear Air Spring doesn't show a compatible interchange part number.

Yeah I see that one, but when I look below at the "Interchages" part number 292-320-05-25 for a 2016 GLE 63s isn't there. That's the only part I can not directly verifiy for my car at Arnott. All the others are there.
