2007 R320CDI
Front air strut

Anyone replace their own front air struts. I’ve done the rear. Super easy. The front seem a little more involved but still only really 3 bolts and then the top.


Do I need a ball joint tool? Any special tools needed? Anyone know the torque values for the 3 bolts (ball joint, sway bar linkage, and bottom support bolt)


I’m not having any luck finding any walk throughs or videos of the process for the R. The Arnott video kinda skips over that part. Is it the same for any other mercedes models that I can cross reference.





Thanks,


I’m replacing the fronts on my ‘07 R320 this afternoon.
