Broken Airmatic | Rear Air Shock Replacement
Just as I talked to my son that this car just doesn't want to break and we should start looking into some mods to make some videos, the rear left air shock/airbag blows out while sitting at a cruise port for a week. Upon arrival from our vacation, the whole car sits on the ground.
After starting the car this horrible squealing noise starts at around halfway lift and for the next 10 miles, we drive it just got worse. So, in order to attempt our 250 mile home trip, we pulled the 40A fuse so the compressor doesn't run for 3.5 hours and risk burning it out as well. I was ecstatic that without any further incident we made that trip home.
A few days later we got an airbag from Advanced Auto Parts for $343.99 which can be had from Amazon for about the same. But wait, I got an email for a 25% off coupon and I still had another $20 coupon from a previous purchase. There was a $50 core, which after taxes and discounts, totaled $314.99. That is not bad for something that Mercedes charges about $1000 for. After the core was returned my grand total was $264.99, 2 hours of work, and because I needed my son to get dirty on this one too, my lovely wife had to run the camera for a while as well.
Now I know that there are cheaper shocks from China but I have heard/read mixed reviews on quality. I could have saved a little more money, but as you can see, these are remanufactured by Continental (another great German company). I didn't mind spending a little more for a good quality product.
I don't ask for subscribers and comments on my videos but I do appreciate them. I read all the comments and emails and reply as soon as I can.
Thank you for watching :)
