suspension

At the end of last year I suffered a series of dispiriting ABC problems with my 2003 SL 500 (R230): new strut, new tandem pump and finally a new connecting rod (following a total collapse of the os/front suspension). Today the car was idling in a traffic jam for about 5 minutes when the ns/f...

Hi there, Maybe someone here can help me in understanding how often it is normal to hear the air pump on a W212 Estate. In the past I don't remember even hearing it but after the last service 29k miles, I don't know why but I hear the pump. I hear it sometimes in the morning and then...

Hi All, I am new here, and have a really nice 320 cdi Elegance estate that I have had since buying it from a friend in the Channel Islands 3 years and 30,000 miles ago. I do the basics on brakes, oil changes and timing belts on my other cars, but am stuck on this present problem on my...

My CLS has 112,000 on so I suspect it needs some attention based on the noise it is making when I go over speed humps and the like. I am thinking it is probably a ball joint but what else can cause it, car can be a little vague at speed as well. Any suggestions ?

Hello all and thanks for having me. I recently bought a viano 07 2.2. The rear air suspension layed down on a trip to Ikea. Needless to say it was a bouncy ride home. I have heard there is a spring conversion that you can get done. Has anybody had experience on getting this done? Does...

I have an S202 with a set of H&R cup touring shocks and springs. It's great on good tarmac but the potholes in our roads are too much for it and the ride is too harsh. Can anyone recommend a combination to give a much softer ride please with part numbers.

Well having been an avid fan of the landrover badge for many years and modding of that brand I have decided to turn my attention to my newly acquired ML 430 !! I sold my last ML which was a 270cdi and regretted it as it was the best tow car that I have used, easily towing my 2t off road...

Hello All, A friend of mine in Paris has a 560SEL with a height issue. As I understand it, the car rises up when started but it never becomes level at the front. He reports that one (front) side's higher than the other. I haven't seen the car so can say no more and I've never owned one so much...

Hi all, I think this is one of my first posts here so hope it becomes of use for a few fellow CLK owners. My model is a CLK 270 CDI I have recently had the dreaded squeaking rear suspension bushes. I had read some post on here and it sounded like I had a common "anti-roll bar drop...

A W215 CL500 ABC HYDRAULIC SYSTEM SERVICE / REPAIR I’LL NEVER FORGET I got an enquiry for the refurbishment of a (2006) W215 CL500 ABC Hydraulic System a couple of months back. The owner wanted the following work done: • Full Hydraulic System Bleed with 15 litres of Pentosin CHF11s •...

I'm not sure if many people specced the 'AMG Performance Suspension' option on the post facelift C63, probably because the stiffer suspension found in the pre-FL PP C63 was widely criticized for being rock hard and too stiff for the UK. I test drove a C63 for a weekend before purchasing mine...

Hello, could anyone tell me where this is located please, and, if possible, any assosiated relay? Thanks, Hugh.

Hi,I am a new member and am re-posting this in the right forum, (not engines). 2001 V220 converted to camper, after the compressor fuse blew about 4 times over about as many months, the compressor has stopped running. Towards the end the warning light would illuminate, I press the button and...

Hello all, I'm a new member. I have a UK 2001 V220 converted to a camper. The rear air suspension has stopped working after blowing the fuse about 4 times over about 3 months. The compressor does not operate at all now (Though I don't think it's broken). I have had a look underneath and nothing...

Hi, I am looking for a rear air suspension bracket for a 1966 w112 300SE coupe which the rear air levelling valve bolts to. I understand the actual bracket is welded to the underside of the boot floor. I have the rear air levelling valve and I believe that this bracket is shared with the w109...

OK, so this 280SE has had it's springs cut - it's a bit lower and harsher than I'd like (although it handles well and corners like it's on rails, very little body roll) - also, it's marginal for speed humps, and prone to ground the exhaust. So I need to replace the springs. I don't actually...

My E320 has an extremely loud creak which appears to be coming from the offside front. Took it to my local indie who of course could find nothing wrong but suggested it may be the lower track control arm balljoint. No charge for the examination, but it would be £95 plus Vat to replace. Hmmm...

I don't want coilovers as I've had them before, far too rough on our roads and not enough travel. I have seen that Koni do adjustable shocks for the C63 and was thinking about getting some. Any ideas?
