Mercedes-Benz W211 Suspension Diagnostics - Everything You Need To Know (E350, E55 AMG, & E63AMG)

[@samson2395]

U guys rock! Straight out The W211 community appreciates your work.

[@fcpeuro]

yeah nah Bro, you rock!!

[@garrettj6838]

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!

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.

I recently went to a service shop to check out my w211 e550 and make sure everything is fine and they told me I should replace the upper control arms and the 2 lower control arms. They quoted me around $3000 for everything. I thought that was too much and I went to look for a control arm kit and I found multiple kits on Ebay Motors for around $200-$300. Is it worth it to go with one of those kits? One of the listings has over 300 sales so I think it is a good purchase. What do y'all think?

[@muammertuncr]

I was trying to do alignment on my 04 e500 today, i just realized front lower control arm bushings have some cracks and i was checking rockauto. I ve decided to watch some videos about it. And i saw this video and your comment. Thank you for commenting, i’ll check ebay as well for lower control arms

W211 nicest car ever made E55 AMG with all the bell's and whistles my dream. I've a E200 W211 rarely drive it, battery is always dead, how would one get rid of the yellow gunk that forms in the oil, its not a busted head gasket it's just moisture from not being driven for 3, 4 months at a time, I've changed the oil 3 time's used liquid molly flush but it's still there I can see loads up near the cams would that have to be physically removed?

[@BaddazlinkTV]

to get rid of it just take the car on the highway for 1hr or more and the moisture will evaporate out. The extended engine temperature will do the trick. “Italian tune up”

[@jasonhitch660]

I think you’re right.

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.

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

[@abyssalsoul6216]

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.

[@shark70007000]

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.

[@JxH]

Hey Kyle. @4m17s in the video, the 4Matic front lower strut bushing is shown clearly. Are these available separately? I had one go and it was Cdn $2k for the entire arm and about 6+ hours labour. All for what appears to be a maybe $20 bushing. I'd like to replace the other one in-situ before it suddenly costs me another $2k. Are these 4Matic lower front strut bushings available separately? Thanks! W211 2008 E350 4Matic 'Sport' suspension

Hi Ihaka, It can be a bushing, a bad strut mount, or a strut. The best thing would be to raise the vehicle and inspect everything first. Take a pry bar to components and see if you can pinpoint the sound.

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.

How bad is that for the entire car?

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.

There could be a bushing that is worn out causing the knocking sound. If your mechanic inspected the rear suspension and didn't find anything worn, maybe something in your trunk knocking around? Maybe the spare tire is not tightened down?

[@gkelly941]

Kyle, thanks for the great video, and for your clear and concise explanation of this system. I have a 2003 E 500 with 102K miles. Three of the four air struts were replaced by the previous owner, and the car is a dream to drive. I have been afflicted by intermittent body drops over the months I have owned the car, particularly on cool nights (which aren’t very cold here in SoCal.) There does not seem to be any particular or regular pattern to these issues, and the suspension regularly and quickly returns to the regular driving attitude when the engine is started. Do you have any idea if any particular problem is creating this issue.I am thinking it could be an intermittent leak in the valve body, but I am new to the system, and that is purely a guess. Also, I am wondering if I should buy a code reader to assist with diagnosis and repairs on the car. What would you recommend? I have done brake jobs and other mechanical repairs on other MBzs in the past, but all were built in the pre-computer days.

[@fcpeuro]

Hi G Kelly, really glad you like the video! It sounds like there could be a leak in the system. The suspension system can be a tricky thing to diagnose but I think you are on the right track as far as the leak at the valve body. Also its possible the one air strut that wasn't replaced could be the issue. As for the code reader, we highly recommend the MX808 which is a very powerful scanner/code reader, you can find it here: www.fcpeuro.com/products/maxicheck-mx808-obdii-scanner-autel-mx808
