suspension

Hi all, new to the forum but been an owner of this wonderful CLS for a few months now and not really had a problem up until today and i'm really baffled. Bit of a back story, in my ownership i've never had any issues with the suspension at all, that was until today. I went to get the alignment...

Hi All I'm the middle of a subframe replacement adventure on my 96 e280 estate. I got an old subframe that I have pressed out bushings from and got shot blasted. I am about to order one of these lemforder suspension link kits (4 each side) and I have a query: Is one of the bars in the kit...

I've had my E320 estate since Oct 2016, and have noticed that it was a bit clunky when hitting rough surfaces, my local garage that did the MOT said nothing wrong that they could see :dk:, and have recently noticed a creaking at slow speed, 5mph to stop or when just starting away. Anyway I...

This is my first post in MB club, I have been towing a caravan with my e280 sport estate over the last 18 months probably about 20 outings and I am concerned that the rear air suspension is at some point going to give up ( the car is an 07 reg). I wondered if anybody has replaced the airbags...

Hi guys. After some research I have decided on new shoes ks and springs and came across these on ebay Look at this on eBay H&R Cupkit Suspension for Mercedes Benz W208 (CLK) Cabrio/ Convertible 40749-4 | eBay Anyone used these before it says 8 cylinder cars but would these be suitable for...

I've noticed recently that my rear suspension is sinking when the car is parked, and I get a message saying to wait whilst it rises when I start the engine. It drops an inch or so overnight, more if left longer, I don't think it used to sink as much as that but it may just be because I don't use...

I've just got an 8 month old c200, I really like the car except for the suspension. The agility control comfort suspension crashes over pot holes and clunks over man hole covers. I can hear and feel pretty much every bump on the road. It's nowhere near as quiet and comfortable as my old Mondeo...

Hi all, My Merc's suspension has been going down a while, it appears to be nearside. Here's the issue, it's been into the garage and they diagnosed a faulty sensor. This was fixed and the car was upright for about 4 days, first sign of any weight in back and it went down. Now I can drive the...

Yesterday I had to scrabble about in the boot a bit to put the parcel cover back in. Today I nipped out to the shops and on the way back I get a 'car raising, please wait' message and the rear end got very bouncy. The rear self levelling suspension has gone full monster truck! Any thoughts on...

I'm a little bit confused right now I've had my heart set on a H&R suspension set up for a while now however the only reason I'm delaying purchase is due to not understanding what shim pads are required in order to achieve the 60mm drop. The reason I need to know this is as it is is only...

Hi Just to give you a quick summary of how this all started My Mercedes was in a side on collision mainly on the N/S/F wheel. Minor bodywork looking damaged but the wheel was mullered. Basically had all the work fixed but Churchill after countless complaints and rework and 3 different...

I was doing a bit of research on what suspension is fitted to my '97 r129 SL60 AMG and it appear from the registration card that it has option 793 the 8" and 10" wide AMG wheels but does not have the AMG suspension option No 783. I'm guessing that my car has standard Sl500 suspension. So...

Hi guys I need a bit of help as to what best to do. I bought what I thought was a nice W124 Estate just over a week ago and it turns out to have severely corroded rear subframe mounts. I feel pig sick over it to be honest as I think I allowed myself to be ripped off and I didn't check things...

Hi, I've just bought a 2006 GL with fairly tired suspension. Usual creaks and groans but the air suspension is working fine. The bushes in the lower arms in each corner are probably well worn and along with the ball joints need to be replaced. Any thoughts on replacing the complete front...

Any views on whether Airmatic is worth the premium or is the AMG steel suspension fine with the AMG Sport Pack and the 18" wheels? I don't like a jarring ride and the roads aren't the best here so avoiding the 19s.

My SL500 (R230) - the one with the nightmare ABC suspension - has suddenly developed an alarmingly loud, metallic scraping/grating noise from the rear end. First of all, I thought it must be an exhaust component adrift, but a (very limited) inspection of the underside revealed nothing loose...

hello, so, has anyone replaced their suspension pump on their cls themselves? any how-to threads kicking about? cheers chris

i went to the dealers today to buy some parts and while i was there i thought i would ask if they sold the front spring cups for my w202. He was a nice young lad quite helpful but he seemed completely lost when i asked about them. can you buy them ?

As titled I have a 98' S420 W140 without SLS, and the rear suspension runs too low. As you might be able to see from the (random, crappy) pictures, the rear has about 1" of clearance between the arch and top of the tyre wall. A couple of MB specialists, PCS, WGMB and Starwerx, have seen the...

My 2007 W221 S500 is a magic carpet on its 17 inch wheels. I do enjoy a wafty ride. I know that if I switch to "Sport," the car will change its gear change points and drop the car by an inch. And I know the suspension will harden slightly when the speed gets to be a little bit fast...
