What's up RU-vid and Mercedes fans! This is my new channel for 2021!
I wanted to share with you another low-cost mod hack for your ride!
Of course, I can go spend the $100's plus dollars and buy a lowering link kit, but why when you can just buy the exact hardware and save $$! This works for multiple late model cars with Airmatic suspension. Here are the ebay links to the hardware that is needed.
Joint ball socket CS10, thread M6 * 1.0, This is a 10mm M6 thread socket.
Comes with a Ball stud, Nut, Retainer, and Dust cover washer. You may need qty: 8
www.ebay.com/itm/Ball-Head-Joint-Rod-End-Bearing-M5-M6-M8-M10-Right-Angle-CS8-CS10-CS13-CS16-LTWI/303892794836?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=603079675418&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649
Thread Rod 304 Stainless M6 25 to 250mm length double-ended Stud.
You may need 4 rods, two different lengths depending on your vehicle,
PLEASE measure your existing stock links first Before ordering!!!
www.ebay.com/itm/304-Stainless-M5-M6-25-250-double-ended-Stud-Screws-threaded-Bolt-Thread-Rod/193718585796?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=493939044514&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649
Total cost should be under $40 dollars during the time of this posting.
Also recommended to have your wheel alignment checked when doing this mod.
Some models may require a curved link, this video is only for models with straight links.
This was another cool job to do, and I'm very happy with the outcome.
Thanks for watching, feel free to ask any questions.

@@Dying_Breed.300 Hey Bro, that's cool I'm just a couple hours north of ya, Yes I now have 20's again, my second set, 20x9 & 20x10.5 but they are not on the car at the moment, I don't know anyone that uses the module, I was looking into it as well before the links but way too pricey for what I want to spend.

Ok did u have to take all the tires off
@samln5019
@samln5019 3 года назад
For the back yes, remove the wheels. For the front wheels no need to, you can just jack the car up and go under from the front
@Dying_Breed.300
@Dying_Breed.300 3 года назад
OK I ordered 4 and 8 so u did 3mm in front and back? So u took the old ones off and measured 3 mm less right? And how long did it take to get the order since its from China lol
@samln5019
@samln5019 3 года назад
Ok, I think I did 5mm in the front and 4.5mm shorter in the rear, but do what works for you, for every 5mm shorter, lowers the car 3/4 to 1 inch. It should take about 2-3 weeks if you are here in the states.

Will these work on a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
@samln5019
@samln5019 3 года назад
It's quite possible! If the ball studs are 10 mm, and uses links, you can look in my description for the link to a website "edgy mods" that sells them they have pdf links for instructions for multiple cars that have airmatic suspension, I think they cover jeeps Cherokee as well.

@samln5019

How is it uneven? front to back or side to side? You need to adjust your links possibly a full turn on one end, Also how is the condition of your airmatic system?
