2010 ML550 VIN WDC1641722A564750, 2010 B180
Part No. Assistance Please Front Airmatic Struts w/ADS

I'm chasing part number(s) for the front Airmatic strut assembly, including ADS, for my 2009 ML550. One airbag is shot so I'm replacing them and shockers as well.

VIN is WDC1641722A564750.

I'm looking at Arnott AS-2792 replacements (pictured below) or https://www.arnottindustries.com/as-...-left-or-right

Many thanks for any assistance.

All new Arnott shocks do not have ADS. They have an ADS simulator to trick the car. Only rebuilt Arnott shocks have ADS. If you see anything with "custom valved shock," it does not retain the OEM adaptive function. If you want new, you will have to get Bilstein shocks. Use RockAuto or FCPEuro to find the correct shocks.

I was hoping that a forum member would be so kind as to providing me with the OE part numbers for the front struts so I can ensure good fitment of new after market ones.

Thanks. I was not aware of this, even after doing a fair amount of research. I've seen the remanufactured ones and expected they would be of lesser quality. You've saved me a lot of grief. Much appreciatted.

Black, your vin# indicates that you have Airmatic. Do you want to keep Air or convert to spring ?
