2005 Silver E55
add me to the list yesterday, on the way home. I got the Stop car to low red lights of death. I hope onething is done on this, car is 4 years old and 38,000 miles, this is way early on a pampered car.

Yes it is. I was just wondering if the link i posted was the actual air spring bellow inside the airmatic strut. I'm tempted to gut mine and see. Here's my failed strut.v

Thanks for the tips

I'm guessing it's possible for the W211s providing there's a viable market for them.
You don't have to wait for the kit of some sort, it is an easy and straight forward swap using oem components, look into this treat, starts with the post #71
