    One of my C63 rear dampers has a slight oil leak. Decided to have both replaced. Car isn't under warrant. It's a 2011 December facelift saloon. Been quoted £382 for a set of rear dampers from MB. Is there any good aftermarket setups which offer a better ride and good damping such as KW, Bilstein...

    08 e class dampers

    So my e class sits very high on the front so I pulled it apart today to move the spring seats down using the c clips on the dampers but I found one dampers did not have any groves to relocate the c clip and the other is starting to weep. So I guess I am into a pair of new front dampers. Were...

    Advice on changing dampers c class kompressor sport

    I have c class w204 2009 180 kompressor I find the ride rock hard and when driving over small rd divets or manhole covers the car feels like it crashes into the bumps and absorbs nothing. Making life for myself and passengers pretty unbearable. We can't take our young baby out as she ends...

    Are the dampers on the back of an Airmatic 211 estate conventional ones

    Hi, been looking into my options for refreshing the dampers on my 211 and wondered if someone can confirm that the rear dampers are definitely conventional, non-electric ones. When I bought I read all about the air suspension and variable damping but having dug a bit more it might be that the...

    Hi everyone, just thought i would pass on some useful info regarding the renewal of the dampers in the boot of the slk, apparently they are prone to early failure ( i know mine were, making lifting the boot lid quite heavy. Anyway, my local mercedes dealership quoted £411 to replace both boot...

    S211 Airmatic Dampers

    Hi, The damping is weakening on my S211 at the back. In a normal steel sprung car I'd just order new Bilstein dampers or equivalent. In this case I suspect I need to order the (B4?) Bilstein Airmatic strut (?) In which case I'm looking at c £440/side? If all the above is correct...

    Replacement dampers

    My CLK 55 AMG (W208) is approaching 100k miles and I think is still on the original Bilstein dampers so they are probably due for replacement. The springs have already been changed for Eibach Lowering springs and I'm looking for some dampers to match. I was thinking of changing Koni Sport...

    How long should the dampers (shock absorbers) in W211 Airmatic front struts last?

    I have a 150,000 mile E320 CDI with Airmatic. It suffers what I think to be a rough ride and is very sensitive to wheel balancing issues. I had the opportunity to follow and observe my car from another today, driving next to it I could see that the front wheels (especially driver-side)...

    107 Dampers - Bilstein B4s?>

    Hi all Am considering replacing the dampers on my 107 500SL. Is it possible to improve the ride handling with what is available out there. Having done a search it would appear that Bilstein B4s may be appropriate. Will these have any effect on handling? I am a little confused as they are...

    Your suggestions for new dampers and springs for 230e

    Hi all, I'm going to replace the suspension on my 1990 W124 230e as soon as I get a bit of spare cash. It currently has the uprated springs, which give it the higher ride height and is very hard, but bouncy...if that makes sense! I'm wondering if anyone can advise me on two things: 1) The...
