Prefacelift VS facelift airspring

Hi guys,


My 2018 S213 E63 rear airspring has a leak and of course, back order.

Does anyone know if the facelifted airspring will fit a prefacelift ?

Apparently the parts # are différent.


Thanks for your input,

Which part# are you looking for?

I'm not 100% sure of the answer though a quick search of the parts diagrams I do see two different part #'s for each side. One spring has a 205 # and the other starts 213.

They look different from eachother. I think its about which option code you have.

Can see the two different looking springs in a page from the suspension manual below.

I am having both rear struts replaced for a facelift and have been waiting on parts since March 3 -
global back order. One has come in, but I forget if it was the left or right. Waiting on the other.

Thanks for your input,
May I ask how you know there is a leak? What are the symptoms, what have you noticed?

Rear driver side drops in the fender when parked for extendes storage period.

Did the soapy water spray test and noticed small bubbles coming out.

Soooooooo still on back order, I checked out

But it seems like these are made in china and price is very very cheap so am unsure about buying these guys...

Any other recommandations?
