The air suspension on my $2k 200,000 mile S500 was completely shot. Normally this would break the bank, but thanks to today's sponsor, MaXpeedingRods, we're going to replace the entire suspension for under $800!

Before doing this, I recommend seeking out someone who has done this and drive their car. I did not like how it changed the ride, so I chose to repair. Luckily, it turned out cheaper than the conversion for me. Only a level sensor and the compressor was bad, but I'm sure today those parts cost more than they did five years ago.

Talk about living on the edge! That strut was one bolt from disaster! 😂

Yeah, I'm glad it didn't damage the strut tower! It's crazy what people will send on down the road, especially since those must have broken during the installation.

Great video, and your work and presentation of your work is excellent. I just worry about those struts, I don't think they'll last, and you may have to replace one or more soon as I feel you get what you pay for. Nevertheless I used your video as a guide and went with the Arnott struts

What brand of digital torque wrench? Do you like it?
@frenchineer

It's a Quinn wrench from Harbor Freight, and I really like it! It's quick to set, you can choose what units you need, and the angle option is useful on a lot of cars I work on.

Do you view these shocks as similar in quality to the Arnott offerings?
@frenchineer

I can’t comment on the Arnotts for the w220, but these fit and function like the factory ones. I do plan to do a long term review of these and run them back to back with my other S-class that has the Mercedes struts. In the last couple of days since I finished the install I’ve been pleased with them!

you only do bolts and nuts when the car is on the ground.. otherwise you ruin your bushings and twist them when you lower the car just saying :)

How much where the parts?

The struts cost $145 each for the fronts, and $189 each for the rear, so $668 total. The compressor I installed in the next video is $116 - the links are in the video description.
