Thank you for this! I’ve been searching high and low for a wagon specific guide related to the airmatic service and the utterly shit RUclips algorithm never once bought me here! I’m literally tearing my hair out trying to get to the top of the shocks in the back now that everything under the car is loosened. Thank you!!
Very thorough and systematic. Well explained and great camera angles. Really, a great instructional video. You helped me plan for it correctly. Thank you very much for your time and efforts. God bless
Thanks for the video here a hint.you dont need the special tool to loose the strud on top. Just spray with oil then give a few bangs with long big screwdriver and hammer.And you dont have to let the air out at the airspring.just use another carjack and support the spring.my.change did cost me 70 bucks and 2 hrs work.
Hello nice and helpful explanations - really good how-to-do vid. Could you name or even a link or the diagnostic tool software to release the air pressure.
@@IkonikDefenders I borrowed this tool from another user on the forums. I don't have a link to that as it is difficult locate. Other users have had success by using large channel lock pliers.
I was just wondering if there is a diference between regular w211 wagon shocks and airmatic shocks? Because I have two, one with airmatic and one with only leveling kit but if I would take the wheel off, you would not spot the diference between those two. Both have the same connectors, they both look the same. If you know the answer, I would much appreciate it, thanks

Question boss, did you go with original MB shocks? Or were you able to find a decent aftermarket such as Bilsteins?

It would be good if you atleast gave the size of the tool
What was the name of the tool you used to remove strut
At what timestamp?
@ 10:25 and where did you source it?

Call a mercedes dealership, provide them your Vin number and they'll tell you what the part numbers are.
