[@talonkylan1844]

@Talon Kylan instablaster ;)

[@talonkylan1844]

@Maxton Zain thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@talonkylan1844]

@Maxton Zain it worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thank you so much, you really help me out :D

This is by far the best and easiest video in youtube. Also works for the w211 models

[@awbooth]

GREAT VIDEO!! Is there a video available for the changing of rear coil springs on a 2103 Mercedes Benz ML350 4Matic W166 Chassis? Thx!

[@autodocuk]

There is no such video on the channel, you can find this information in the technical documentation for the repair of your car.

[@RothBeyondTheGrave]

A 2103 ML350?! We have a time traveler among us, & thank GOD there's still petrol cars in 2103!! Rejoice!!

[@castrojody]

Very rare model. I had one. Black w/tan interior. I miss it soo damn much

[@obnxsdonky9394]

an e420? thats not that rare at all lmao

[@Mercmad]

@@obnxsdonky9394 it is my part of the world. Nver sold here . E43 and E55 in tiny numbers though.

[@RothBeyondTheGrave]

​@@obnxsdonky9394not sure what part of the world you live in, but w210 E430 (not sure we got the 420) almost don't exist here. I've seen more E55's actually. As far as w210's go here (Northeast in US), there's basically nothing but tan on tan E320's.

[@sav7123]

Is it possible to take the rear spring out without the compressor ?

[@autodocuk]

We do not have this information, we recommend that you consult with your mechanic.

[@RothBeyondTheGrave]

Yes

[@阿虎闲聊]

You make Very very nice video !!! Thanks

[@DanielMezacar]

Ótimo vídeo amigo, obrigado. Um abraço do Brasil - SÃO Paulo

[@johnk5461]

Do you recommend realignment after following your procedure? I don’t see anything that’s adjustable but thought I’d ask.

[@autodocuk]

Please clarify or rephrase your question. Best Regards AUTODOC

[@johnk5461]

When you remove or loosen the lower rear control arm to change out a spring, there appears to be nothing adjustable. However, I thought I read that Mercedes recommends an alignment check, which sounds like a waste of money. What are your thoughts!

[@dylanslattery1009]

Is there an alternative to using the pry bar to line up the control arm? Mines on Jack stands so I don’t really have the room to put a pry bar in there

[@autodocuk]

We do not have such information, we recommend that you consult your mechanic.

[@henrikloiske8572]

Use a shorter pry bar

[@DannyKhoo89]

What will the symptoms be when a spring fails? Isn't the shock that usually fails first?

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your question! The first thing you will notice when a spring fails is the reduction in the vehicle ground clearance (height). Best Regards, Autodoc Team

[@universaInformation]

@@autodocuk Hi I have w210 e320 mercedes year 2000, facelift. It was lowered on cobra springs, now it has settled too much rear rubbing, I am thinking to put back original springs but probably time to change shocks. I live in New Zealand they have only meyle brand, I am not sure if its any good. Any suggestion? do you have anything?

[@rodchamp7510]

I heard a loud crack behind my head and now Merc is slightly lopsided - very slightly - ride feels more wobbly too, still drives ok - I’ve bought 2 new rear springs to be fitted this week - hope mechanic doesn’t say its shocks

[@مرادبنمسعود-ظ7ز]

Good

[@disel1961]

excelent work :)

[@afzaalkhan.m]

Excellent presentation

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your feedback! We are glad to know this tutorial was useful to you. Stay tuned with us! Best regards, Autodoc team!

[@christophel.2927]

Nice vid, but it doesn't work so well... the special tool "spring compressor" is unappropriate for w210, it's a real mess. Thank you anyway for other informations

[@autodocuk]

[@dorutascau451]

What kind of trick did you do to center the stunt, because with that tool is impossible?!

[@autodocuk]

Our videos are only for informative purpose. All regulatory replacements and values can be found directly in the technical documentation for your particular model of car or use the help of a car service.

[@epicars6902]

Can I do this on ground

[@autodocuk]

This is possible if you have a specialized tool, as well as have a complete education in the field of car business (e.g. auto mechanic, auto electrician, auto mechanic) AUTODOC

[@alexey9900]

Good 👍👍👍

[@Webster200x]

Any info for a W212?

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your request. Unfortunately, we do not have such a video. Please stay tuned with us. Best Regards, Autodoc team

[@Webster200x]

Just did it today and I can confirm is the same procedure as the w210 (the one that you posted) thank you for the video.

[@yeah771]

Never knew they had a tool for that.

[@davewilson6072]

you should never spray any lubricant or anti-seize spray near a brake disk without protecting the face of the disk first as this can contaminate the brake pads and in result effect braking!

[@autodocuk]

Thank you, we will definitely take this into account in our new videos. AUTODOC
