2003 CL55 AMG REAR SUSPENSION REPLACE WITH COILOVERS (YELLOW SPEED RACING) Vid. #3

[@damonbell8050]

I’ve had nothing but problems with the hydronic suspension so I’m going to do what you did with my 03 cl55

[@Pennychaser1]

Doing this right now. Tried to separate ball joint to replace arm with w220 arms to accomodate sway bars. One side was pita but got it loose. But driver side was impossible and the tool exploded. I guess I will just have a mechanic install these with new ball joint after I convert to power steering pump. Great tutorial!

[@bmancars3237]

Did you lubricate it very good? I used PB blaster and left it over night and the tool took it out.

[@Pennychaser1]

@@bmancars3237 nope. Maybe that why lol. Next time I will try that. Thanks

[@Andrehines4]

Thanks a million. Gave me the confidence to do it myself on my cl55👍👏

[@derrickblair2480]

Hello, Do you still have this vehicle? I just wanted to know how the Yellow Speed have been working since you've installed them. Any issues or ride-related problems? Also, Is there a certain height that Yellow Speed could set them at before they ship them based on your tire size?

[@nadhanna5980]

Thank you for an excellent and detailed video, I have two questions 1- Do you have to add the sway bar ? 2- I have 2001 CL 55 AMG, would you be interested to install the Strutmaster kit and Power Steering pump on my car, as a customer , I live in Southern CA? Thank you for replying

[@iin3328]

how do you adjust the rears after they’ve been installed? also what is the measurements for both the front and rears that you have?

[@rigardtstrauss9560]

Hi i installed the yellowspeed coilovers on my cl55 amg my settings front 28 and rear 22 i have exesive bounch over bad roads in rear any help??

[@Dino-sx9ct]

How long did this take you? How is the ride quality?

[@kenwang4139]

Can you provide the plug info; where to buy and specs? How did they do? Leaks? Front video mentioned leaks.

[@bmancars3237]

Plugs I bought locally from a hydraulic and hose specialty store. They has all different types. The ones I bought were quick release adapters which i capped, but the plugs were a couple of millimeters bigger which I used my table grinder to grind down to 15 millimeters. Also, I used RTV black to seal any potential leaks. And the leaks were due to me not using rtv the first time around. One I used rtv, no more leaks.

[@jettakubra]

Which part exactly did you grind down to 15mm. Would you happen to still have the part number for it? Thanks a lot!

[@kaibinrubber]

Nice video! subscribed.

[@j3jw82]

Appreciate the video!

[@Pennychaser1]

Cool video. Is there a video on sway bar install for CL55's?

[@bmancars3237]

I will eventually going to do that as well, but with the CL's and even SL's they are a bit hard to find and do. I will research it more and hopefully I can get that video done as well in the near future.

[@faisalbawazir]

It will blow the hose at rear left because the pump still activates

[@ToddtheLoneDroner]

But at least you could still drive it and it won't drop down to the ground to the point you can't even tow it

[@josifbody8724]

Cool video. This set up will work with 2004 sl 500? What about the sway bar, can i install it on the sl? Thank you

[@bmancars3237]

Yes it will, but the sway bar not sure due to chassis differences.

[@josifbody8724]

@@bmancars3237 thank you, if you happen to hear some options please share it. Thank you and keep up the good videos!

[@yosz7577]

Is this the same for a 2001 cl55 amg

[@camokiller56]

I’m looking to replace the rear abc suspension on my 2003 S55 AMG. Does anyone know if I can just do the rear coilovers? And leave the front stock for now

[@car-toonnetwork7723]

Just change the whole thing bro that would be so confusing

[@ToddtheLoneDroner]

The front is a lot easier than the rear

[@camokiller56]

@@ToddtheLoneDroner I ditched the car lol. Was getting too expensive, but damn I miss it. Appreciate it

[@latincaribmexico5544]

Hey Man. I just got this set. How do you adjust the hight on the rear ones? Looks like the springs are hidden 🤔

[@mr.fowler1684]

In the rear shelf it’s two cover in the back look like speaker cover there should be a knob ther like in front but they HAVE to be installed prior to installation

[@car-toonnetwork7723]

i broke the the strut bolt in the rear control arm the 21 mm I need a new one can any one tell me part number

[@ukwan]

You can tell you don't work in metric very often, nobody could ever think that 13mm bolt was 8mm who worked with metric all the time.

[@Mohamed61110]

I have cl55 and I am curious about the ride quality?

[@bmancars3237]

Im in the process of making some driving videos with this car. coming soon, brother!

[@damonbell8050]

What did you do to bypass the abc code ?

[@bmancars3237]

Still looking for the module to delete or block the signal on the dash. But I'm used to it now and really doesn't bother me. Some of the forums discussed the removing of a #9 fuse from the driver fuse box that will take care of it as well. Haven't tried it myself though.

[@damonbell8050]

BMAN CARS okay yeah I heard it’s a hassle to delete the code. My cars hydronic line blew out 3 times now and I’m over the hydronic suspension. Can you send me a link to the exact coils you got? I’ve seen some for the sl55 but not to sure if it’s going to be the same as the Cl55. If you can do that that would be awesome

[@jamr2t]

I’m sure you can find someone with a star scanner and code abc out.

Clean job remove those hoses

[@Level_Up_Nation]

Hopefully you saved the old suspension, those cores are $300 a pop.

[@bmancars3237]

emailed a couple of places, and all they offered me was 75 a piece. the SL model ones are apparently the $300 ones. not these.

[@Level_Up_Nation]

@@bmancars3237 oh, ok I knew some were.

[@300zVinh]

Get in touch with arnott . They will buy them plus they will pay for shipping. You just have to take them to the fed ex store. I got $400 for mines.

[@bmancars3237]

BMAN CARS yes. You send them the struts and they’ll send you a check.

I’ve got an 04’ S55 AMG with 155K. I bought it with 17,000 miles. I’ve never once had an ABC issue because I routinely serviced the ABC system like you’re supposed too. That’s what kills these systems is the fact that deposits are formed after pentosin goes through countless heat cycles. Bad fluid and contamination of debris in the system is what kills it. The ABC system was developed by Mercedes F1 racing division. Countless of engineers and millions of dollars spent on R&D and I laugh whenever I see people like y’all put coil overs on an ABC Equipped AMG. It’s worse than putting lipstick on a pig. Ride quality goes down significantly and the car feels like a wooden plank driving down the road with body roll regardless of what brand coilovers you use. Long story short. Maintain it like an AMG should be maintained and you won’t have any issues. Maintain it like a Honda Civic? Well here you are slapping coilovers on an AMG 🤦‍♂️

[@spiritbuu]

This is what happens when you buy a Mercedes and treat it like a Honda...you end up with a Honda without preventative maintenance.
