W163 ML320 rear shocks & spring Bilstein upgrade  

Thanks for taking the time to show this.

Very helpful tips here, thank you!

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing. I'll be referring to this in the future.

Great video. Thanks for sharing and providing detailed information. Appreciate your tips and techniques. working to upgrade my ML in the next few weeks. Also love this first gen ML as they are very classy.

Thank you for that video. I did one month ago more or less the same, with Profender shock absorbers. I thought my car wasn't going to lift so much but now is so high. I hope the joins and the transmission will handle it well. Thank youuuuuu

Hi, thank you for nice details. Well done buddy

GRAN VIDEO! Great! Thanks!!!

Great video, thanks for uploading.

Great video, Thank you for sharing. I am in the process of lifting my ML500! Building front bumper will be next. I really like your custom bumpers especially the front. Can you upload some photos or videos about bumpers built? Big thank you, and keep up the good work :)

🦖 Nice 👌🏻

I pull a trailer behind my ML400 I am already 1´´ lower in the back then the front with the empty car. Time to replace the rear suspension, but not an easy task. I am looking for something which can hold much more weight, had a look at adjustable ones with pneumatics, but lots of people say they are not very reliable, lots of problems, on top of that I will load more then usual. There are several kits with pneumatic adjustment, but none works for Mercedes ML´s. If some of you figured something let me know.

Awesome! Can you provide a link for the strut spacer?

Can you explain the difference between the Bilsteins 3 painted square and the 4 painted squares? I did my 2003 ML350 2 years ago using Bilstein 3 painted squares and it seems fine. Not easy getting the shocks disconnected on top on a rusty NY vehicle. After doing brake lines,fuel lines and 4 shocks 2 years ago it hasn't cost a dime. Pretty good for a 173,000 mile outside kept NY winter driven vehicle. I am 64 years old this vehicle has been my best vehicle so far and fixing it myself without a lift is possible for most things. The things I had to replace were not too difficult. A not too expensive scanner will point you in the right direction for most things. Stable at 100mph and better off road than given credit for,and fixable when it does break is what makes it a good machine. Nice informative video.

I worked with plain wrenches on my ML430 suspension before, but you should really add ratcheting wrenches to your christmas list, it's a day and night difference.

cost?

EXCELLENT VIDEOS, WHAT IS THE MEASUREMENT, BRAND OR CODE OF REAR SHOCK ABSORBERS THAT MAKES THE MERCEDES BENZ ML 320?

Did you compress the coils yourself or had a shop do it? I just got a pair of rear B6s and I need to swap the coils from the original struts. I was told that these coils are very difficult and dangerous to compress with the standard hand crank compressors. Also I noticed that the B6s have what looks like 1/16 inch thick ring where the bottom spring plate sits on. Does that thin ring really support all that coil force? Seems crazy to me as the original struts has the bottom spring plate welded to the strut assembly. Can you confirm this?

You didn't show tightening the nut on the bottom of the strut (the ball joint). What's the torque on that?

How'd that alignment go? I had a crazy amount of negative camber with 30mm spacer from Tema and OEM replacement struts. I'm not sure if they preloaded the upper control arms before setting down. I'm assuming this can happen in the front too after torsion bar lift?

How does it ride? Any issues with vibration? I would like to add 1 1/2 " SPACERS TOO, please advise if I should with out any other modifications, will this ware more the drive shafts? Please advice thx

How's the bilstein b6 yellow shocks doing compare to the regular bilstein b4 ? Any better damping?

How did you take off the upper nuts, with so little space

where do I get the 3 mark springs or whats the part number for the springs?

Probably want to preload the suspension to near normal stance before torquing the upper control arm bushings.

Do you still have the 3 mark springs? I just bought B6’s for my 320, looking for springs

I want to do exactly what you did to you ml500 to mine but I can find those shocks can you help

What tire size are you using?

OEM shocks in the front?
