HELP WITH MY WIFE'S LEMON R320 air suspension
so, i just resolved the oil cooler leak fiasco; along with brakes and brake sensors. i come home to find her car in the garage with a noticeable lean towards the drivers side. both the front and rear drivers side shocks have collapsed. where do i find the air compressor? the valves? regulators? i find it hard to believe that 2 air bags failed on the same day at the same time. since its the same side i imagine that its a valve or a line problem.
i could really use some advice/pictures
thanks in advance.

do you live in the midwest? i think the cold weather causes these things to fail.
mine did the same thing about a month ago, but had purchased the MB extended warranty which covered the repair. here's what they did to fix it:
replace air spring:
1 air spring 251-320-04-25
1 seal holder 211-328-00-58
replace left and right level linkage (frozen)
251-320-23-32
good luck, would b curious to know the cost.

If drivers side is down, that sounds like a line puncture or a metering block. If it's truly your springs, you're looking to replace all four. Look for an independent who can install Arnott air springs - the cost of these is about 1/2 that of at the dealer. On cold mornings my left rear sags a little but comes right up and stays that way all day.
Do you per chance have around 80k miles on the car? The stock airbags typically fail at that point.
