Question Airmatic Repair Kit, Opinions? 02 S500 Base
Has anyone used this bilstein kit to repair an upper strut air leak? How'd they work for you? I've got 84k and one small leak so I'm considering this route. Is there a special tool required for install and if so where can I source it?

Have you tried other kits or just completely replaced the struts and if so what route did you go, rebuilt or...? Just weighing my options and I'd appreciate any tips!

Thanks!

Dave
