yeah nah Bro, you rock!!

Thanks so much for an informative video! I also want to throw out there that I've had to replace the rear shocks do to knocking noises on an air suspension equipped E55

Dude this is so awesome that you guys do this. I have a W211 and a C207 E550 coupe, I hope to see tutorials on the M278 engine and other parts you guys sell. I am more willing to buy stuff if I can see a video how to do it. This is your best marketing tool.

Great video! And Kyle did a great job presenting it!

Love to hear that, Eric! Glad you found it helpful!

Because of this video, I'll only buy parts from FCPEuro, that and they always have all the parts needed. Plus a warranty? I'm sold.

My 2008 CLK350 creaks. I noticed the lower forward control arm bushings are worn. That must be the reason. I did notice recently, when I turn onto the road from a parking lot, it seems a little sway happens. I will have to check that rear suspension a little better. As you said, about 150K miles. Mine has 160K. So I definitely need to check the rear suspension closer. I noticed the front tires started wearing on the sides quickly. This information is still great for my car too. Thank you.

Hi Kyle, thank you so much for the video. Very explanatory. I've been trying to chase a knocking noise on front suspension of my AMG w211, to no avail. I'm thinking of backing the nut off the sway bar link and re-torque, as you mentioned that might help, but I really have no clue what this bar looks like. Can you provide a part number from the FCP Euro site so I can identify it? Much appreciated.

Another great video addition 👍🏼👍🏼 Thank you

Hi Kyle, great video. I have 80k on my R230 SL55. I plan on changing out my lower arms, since I would have to take the arm out to change the bushings. If I purchase the eccentric bolts and supply them to my alignment shop. Would most shops know how to adjust it to stock specs? Thanks again.

Hey Kyle, I just ordered the syncro design control arms you recommend for my 09 clk 550 coupe. After reading the reviews on them, everybody seems to say that they vastly improve the steering response and handling. However, I wanted to get your opinion on a separate issue. Will these cause premature wear on the support bracket that they attach to? Have you had any frame damage issues? There’s no doubt that these will make it handle better, but I also want the car to be safe. Thanks!

Thank you very much for the info... God bless

i have the abc suspension in my car and for a while I thought i had seepage from the system somewhere because of extremely slow oil dropping from the control arm. I feel like maybe its one of those bushings/hoping.

With the advent of the 4matic would you recommend aftermarket wheels on a e500 4matic wagon?

How do you know when its your rear shocks or springs when I hit bumps it feels like the gl 450 bottoms out or hits hard what could this be.

My 09 E350 sport with 101k miles has both camber bolts installed with the maximum for positive camber and the alignment numbers still indicate that my camber is too negative. And yes the front tires are wearing on the inside. My question is , of the components in the front suspension which one when replaced is most likely to correct the negative camber? There isn't any creaking noises nor knocks in the front end at this time. I see on FCPs website kits for the front end but I am not sure which would be better given the negative camber situation which I want to correct.

these are the best videos

Hi there Buddy! I’ve changed the airbags and the compressor with new ones on w211 but it won’t rise up no more . Compressor kicks in but it won’t inflate the bags . Please help!

I have an 08 E63. When I go over small bumps (say speed bumps) I get a creaking noise. I've replaced the thrust arms and sway bar links. No change. Someone mentioned that it could be the air struts. Is that possible? They air up with no issues. Could the air struts generate noise over bumps?? Thanks

I would like to find those bushings for the 4-matic control arm. The part is really expensive and I can't find the bushings anywhere.

Can you recommend a place to get the airmatic suspension serviced in Westchester or Connecticut. The dealer charges to much. 2005 e55

Do you guys sell a complete kit to redo the front suspension?

Is it very uncommon for springs to go out. When I hit a speed bump slow and at correct speed it seem like a violent jolt!

Only my rear driver side is sagging. Do both rears have to be replaced or can we just do the one?

Hi i just bought a 2008 E350 AMG my question is how do i know if the suspension was air ride or regular, because i know they did something on the suspension cause the car is lowered, and is not the air bags cause i already check and it dosent have air suspensio , how can i know what originaly came from

I installed 2 remanufactured Air Struts on the front of my W219 CLS55 5 weeks ago. An Arnott tech explained that I must NOT deflate the Struts during installation - to install them as-is. So, I received them, installed them as is and the system leveled itself properly and done. I read elsewhere that deflating the Strut during install, then energizing the Strut after installation can/will destroy the Strut during jounce from pressurization ... don't know how true that is but the Arnott Tech know their product.

Should i feel like I'm being informed or sold something? Am i being informed or sold? I can never quite understand what drives people. Please advise.

I have a Mercedes E500, 2003 that has been sitting in my garage for many months now because the Automatic transmisión box is broken and I haven’t been able to fix it. The car has been parked like I said for a long time and (because of the suspension I think) it has become super low now, almost to the point of bringing the tires down low. How bad is that for the entire car?

@fcpeuro

It sounds like the air suspension has leaked all of the air out of the system, could be bad air bags, or lines or seals, definitely not good. Perhaps you can try starting the car and letting it run and see if it will pump the suspension back up.
