2000 S500 Airmatic Replacment

Another question guys. Where is the cheapest place to purchase a front airmatic suspension strut? My friends 2000 S500 driver front has gone out. It looks like she is trying to pull a gangsta 3 way motion with hydros

Thanks!

Was just having ball joints and control arms replaced so went ahead with two new struts to save on labor later (not if but when on these cars)...Arnott was fantastic and the struts are better than new...got my $200 core back so both cost less than one at a dealer and the reconditioned are better materials.

+1 for Arnott units. I bought Arnott air strut replacements for my X5 4.8is. If my W220 struts go out, I will get Arnotts for sure.

Struts

And not to mention the lifetime warranty on the struts. I am very familiar with these systems, being a Rover operator with more time than money. I usually buy Arnott thru RoverRenovations.com which is a cost, pass thru site run by a Rover enthusiast who made a pact with Arnott and vowed to reduce stress for airmatic owners. He is an expert at all things EAS and it transfers to the 220 as well. I recently purchase both fronts direct from Arnott because Dennis (RR) wasn't setup yet for core charges, but he is getting there. I had questions about the replacement and trouble shooting and he replied right away. Can't go wrong with either Arnott source.
