Mercedes S Class W221 & CL550 4MATIC | How to Replace the Front Air Strut Suspension

[@mikedee2412]

I love the step-by-step instructional video that you put up it means a lot to a lot of people don't know the technical terms or even how to go about it I myself have been a mechanic full of a 45 years and I applaud you on showing people step-by-step what needs to be done in a way that basically a five-year-old could understand LOL but that's a compliment keep up the good work bravo

Hello, great video! I followed your step by step video however I am stuck at putting the new airstrut back in, it won't go in easy as it came out. Did you use some type of tool or pry bar to move something up top like the control arm connections? It's hard for me to line the top of the strut with the three mounting screws into the holes of the car. It seems like the control are bracket is preventing me from getting a new strut all the way up in there? I hope they sent me the right strut, it definitely looks the same as the old strut side by side. I ordered new airstrut off eBay. So if you have time please respond I need to know did you pry something to fit the new airstrut back into place?

at 5:43 with my car the thing just keeps spinning, do you know anything to stop that from happening?

You don’t need to remove the clip to the connector just push it in and pull the connector out or in

Good job

[@garyzhu9311]

Spray a lot of WD40 on to the bolt. Let it soak over night, came off easy the next day.

did anyone have a tough time removing the bottom strut from its housing? the bolt came out easy but the bottom bolt is lodge in the bottom control arm and just won't budge..... any advise?

[@SuncoreIndustries]

Hello and thanks for viewing our video, for the bottom bolt you probably need an impact wrench to get it loose.

[@jamestysinger8452]

Are you talking about the bottom strut to the control arm? I am having difficulty removing the entire strut. Everything is disconnected but the bottom of the strut wont come out of the lower control arm. Seems like an easy task but shoot.

[@rottdogsparky]

@@jamestysinger8452 I'm having the same problem I'm wondering if you ever got yours out?

[@jamestysinger8452]

rottdogsparky yes I did. I had to put heat on it and it came right out. Took about 15 min total. Smh. Should have just done that first. Lol.

[@rottdogsparky]

@@jamestysinger8452 I used a big hammer and crow bar 6 good hits and it popped out
