Rear Airmatic Failure, 2000 S430
I just had a rear airmatic failure on my 2000 S430, is the o-ring repair procedure the same as with a front airmatic failure?
The repair kit states 'front strut repair kit', and there doesn't seem to be a 'rear strut repair kit' - also, some sellers of the special tool refer to it as a front strut repair tool.
I have 3-wheel motion going on right now, left rear is slammed, and the car is not drivable; car has 80k miles.

ALLDATAdiy.com shows a procedure to check for leaks in this case at the AIRmatic unit. Might save you some time isolating your leak on your Mercedes.
