Once again AutoDoc provides an excellent video...helpful to both DIY folks and the professional. No nonsense and straight to the stuff we really want to know...I can't thank you guys enough for omitting some fool blabbering on and on about nothing. You guys are great and I hope you keep it up. Thank you.
Thank you for the feedback! It inspires us to make more videos! Follow our upcoming updates. Best regards, Autodoc.
@@autodocuk I agree, very good straight to the point videos!!
Just a genius mechanic:)
Just did the job today, Kind of a bitch but instructions were fine. This video is for the right hand side and I did the left hand side first. The top bolts on the left are even harder to get to because of the fuel tank. I used a combination of the shorty 13 mm ratchet wrench, a non ratchet short 13 mm wrench and a standard length 13 ratchet wrench. Took a while but when I went to the right side it was a breeze. Thanks again for posting this
Thank you for the feedback! Thank you for the interest in our channel. Stay tuned and follow our latest updates. Best regards, Autodoc.
Привет ! Все ясно и понятно. Со своей стороны порекомендую смазать шпильки и болты графитовой смазкой. Иначе следующий ремонт может быть затруднен из-за коррозии резьбы на шпильках и болтах.
We are sure that your comment will be useful for many of our viewers.

Thank you for the video, finally did this on my 02 ML. It's not very easy working on jack stands but can be done. I did do it without removing the sway bar links. For people trying to compress the spring, I suggest you take it to a shop who will do it for you. I managed to remove one spring using the small bolt type spring compressor but was never able to install it back on the shock. The spring is heavy duty and not easy. The other easier option is to just buy a quick struct that comes with spring loaded.
Thank you for your comment! All your notes are much appreciated. We're grateful for you making us better!
Best Regards, Autodoc Team

great video, used it to do the rear spring on my ML after it broke (MOT spotted it 1" at the bottom flat bit :( ). just wish I had that compressor to get the new spring on as a garage had to do that as they are so strong and my spring compressors couldn't do it.
Thank you for your comment. Stay tuned for updates on our channel, the video you are interested in will definitely appear on our channel.

Great video! Only thing I noticed wrong was that you put the top washer on upside down over the rubber bushing. Thanks!
Thank you for your feedback. We will take it into account and we will be happy to know about your opinions about our new tutorials, Best regards,Autodoc!
Great video. I am doing a 99 ML320 next week but replacing the entire shock assembly since the spring is broken. I have replaced these before as an MB Tech. This will be the first time replacing them on the ground though.
Thank you for the feedback! We hope that our tutorial was helpful for you. Stay tuned and follow our latest updates. Best regards, Autodoc.
Confidence is one thing, but having the right tools is imperative, otherwise this ~20 minute job per side will easily be a a day of frustration and visits to the auto store. Not sure old springs should be re-used with new shocks ? Maybe better to purchase the shock and spring combo.

And
Witch one is the best ....ML W163 or X5 E53 ?
Thank you for your comment!
Such work is very complex and time-consuming, I do not think that we will carry out work of this level of complexity. We strongly recommend that you make such replacements only at specialized services.

Autodoc team!
what did he actruly do ? im confussed he took off the rubber cushons & used the shock tool to what strech the coil then adjusted the shock ? so u need that shock tool & how do u deturmin the adjustment on the other side?
Thanks for your feedback! Please clarify or rephrase your question and specify the time of the fragment in the video.
great video, I have a problem if the car is on the hoist to long that the shock absorbers will over extend and then leak I had both start to leak while it was being serviced and new brakes fitted at 53000 klms have you ever had this happen??
Thank you for the feedback! Most likely your shock absorbers need being replace as the correctly functioning ones shouldn't leak while pressed. Best regards, Autodoc.
Hi, thanks for the very informative video. At the 14min mark, you raise the wheel with the jack. How much does this need to be raised? Thanks
We raise the lever to its working positions, we make an imitation of a standing car on its wheels. This is necessary so that the silent block remains in its working position when we tighten it and lower the car on wheels.
@@autodocuk Thankyou
Great video......I need to change mine. Are these flat end springs or round?
Thank you for your feedback! In this case edges of spring are sharp. Best regards, Autodoc.
Can I have the name of the song please.
Video makes it look easy to change the rear coils 😂
Основной инструмент как я погляжу, это молоток.
Thank you for the feedback! The video is informative and shows only the general principles of the constitution and the operation of the car and it is in no way to be taken as a manual for repair and maintenance. Best Regards, Autodoc

The rear springs in these cars seem to be to very stiff, meaning perhaps they could be replaced with softer ones?
It is possible to mild the car by replacing the springs, shock absorbers and installing the softer rubber. Then, riding it will be more comfortable. But in order the car could hold the road, turn at speed well, its suspension should be stiffer. Best regards, Autodoc.
Do you remove gas filler neck on driver's side?
Thank you for your feedback.Thank you for your interest in our channel. But unfortunately we do not have such a video.Best regards,Autodoc!
After watching the video everything about replacing the rear shocks on my 2002 Mercedes ML500 was really easy . . . except access to the top of the shock. My car is still jacked up and everything loose except the top of the shock. I can't see how to access the top, unless access is through the inside of the vehicle. Help!!!
Thank you for your feedback ! We agree that the access to the upper mounting is not easy to reach, but the video shows in details how to reach it. Best regards, Autodoc.

There seems to be a cover over the 3 top bolts and I’m not sure how to access those 3 bolts to drop the shock. 2001 ML320
Is this video good for replacing struts assembly on ML320 1998 ?

Is it possible to intall air suspensions on W163's?
Thank you for the feedback! There is such a possibility. To do it we strongly recommend you to visit a specialized car service center. Best regards, Autodoc.
autodoc.co.uk Thanks much! I'll do more research on it.
Yes, you can! They generally advise against the air suspension of W163s with the spare tire underneath the vehicle.
