Suspension replacement question

Having my cls 550s front left air strut replaced with an aftermarket one and was wondering if i needed the compressor replaced as well since it's an aftermarket piece. Dealership has been bsing me about fixing it and i don't want to buy just the one part if i need to replace both parts. Was driving on the freeway when i heard a loud bang or pop like my tire popped or exploded, car indicator was saying vehicle too low and to pull over & stop driving. Car drives fine but just sags low on driver front left side. All help or opinions are appreciated, thanks. Also getting the part from 1 aauto if anyone has opinions on them as well thanks.

Check out FCPEuro as well. They offer a lifetime warranty on everything they sell.

It's always good to replace them in pairs too.

No need to replace the compressors if its still working.

Had both front air struts replaced but one side still won’t work

Both front air struts were replaced but one is sagging still and will sag back down with ADS or the raised suspension button. Any clue on the problem?

Could be a bad strut. I had ours fronts replaced and a few months later when the rear were done, they replaced under warranty one of the fronts.

Just bad both struts replaced and as soon as i got home i noticed it was sagging. When i took it in, it didn’t do that. ADS turns off as well at 70/75mhp. Can i ask what warranty you have because I’m shopping for a new one. And is it possible to upgrade to a better plan if you already have one? My current warranty didn’t cover suspension
