While driving suddnely I heard a sound like a f***ing mouse and the car went down from front and I thought it was the road. after a minute, "Stop, car too low !!!" for few seconds, then it went.

After 4 minutes, it came up again and does not want to go. I arrived home, checked the S*** and car is down from driver side and I can not confirm the passenger side it seems to be low a little bit only.

Tomorrow at day time, I will take it to my mechanic and I guess I will need damn airmatics ( 2 weeks order, 600 USD each one, so total 1200 for both sides)

Now, we don't have damn warrnty companies here, so far MB quality car in terms of failure is really not good, this is not the first MB that I had, or my family.

Why both sides? The passengers side will be slightly lower because the drivers side is dumped. You just need one.

I have a passenger side Arnott shock that i could sell you that i bought for $400. But not sure what the shipping/taxes would be on it from USA to UAE. You would have to cover that. Oh and i wouldn't take your $$$ and run !

Sorry to hear that! Happen to me in my E500. First the drivers side front, two weeks later, passenger side front, two months later, driver side rear. Needless to say I didn't wait for the other rear. Had them replaced together. Hope everything works out.

****ty deal! Their should be a recall on these god damn air struts. 6 years of the e55, MB couldn't fix the problem... Seriously? I think Shardul could have pinpointed the problem for
Mb techs lol

chiromikey

your struts are 7 years old...and they're made out of rubber. not sure you can ask much more from them...

Lol, kinda like tires got worn out. Damn tire companises, after all this time they can't figure tires out yet!!!

Coilovers will solve your problem Ali.

thanx, I got this link, I will order the set I will save close to 300 USD when I buy from there but no sure about shipping cost..

Well Mickey, Does the load goes on airmatic first or shock absorber? regardless of that, I think it should be reliable or at least cheap to change in case of damage (which is always the case with MB )

chiromikey

you know i'm not digging on you.

...but they're wearable parts. i think most manufacturers claim about 60k miles on struts/shocks so i don't think they wear out any quicker than most others. however, i do wish they weren't so expensive.

TRU DAT Once again! People buy a $100,000 car used for 20k and expect the parts to be cheap!

Mb couldnt fix the problem? They do with every failure, replace it. And its has nothing to do with the techs pinpointing the problem.....

i placed an order already for both R and L, but what is core deposit? i didn't understand when it says " u will be refunded when we get ur core!!!!!!"

novae500

You ship back your failed shocks back to them and they give you $100 back for each shock. Not sure if its worth it do to shipping costs ???

ahmad0658

Not ganna send it back, they charged 239 usd for shipping already. I'm not ganna ship any thing coz shipping them may cost more than 200 usd.

I went through the same thing and did not send back, its still cheaper and you can sell the good strut.
