any options besides dealer for rear air shocks

i know about arnott but they dont do anything for the rear air springs. the best price i could find was $970 each. does anybody know where to go to get a good deal? both of mine are leaking so needing them soon. thanks

E 63S Wagon Renntech, E55 Renntech, SL65, SL 55 030, ML, bunch of old ones--they come, they go...
Look around....

we have used a company that rebuilds airmatic shocks on W220, and had good results. I want to say we found them on ebay. Lemme see if I can find the invoice, it has been a while.

I was under the assumption the rear where the same as the fronts. also springs dont go bad , so why cant you just change out shocks.

in the rear, the rear shocks are seperate from the air bags. the dealership calls them air springs but they are air bags.

I would call up Arnott and ask them if they would rebuilt yours if you sent them in.

Hope these are what you're looking for, if not, I hope you find them soon. I've been thru this on rear driver's side & it sucks. Thank GOD I bought the warranty. Good Luck.
