Air Shock for W211

[Tan]

Hi

One of the air shocks on my w211 has failed, according to the garage as a result of hitting a pot hole.

The insurance company are looking into it at the moment, but the dealer has said that the part is on back order and could take up to 4 weeks.

Is there a system within the Mercedes dealer network that can check parts that are in stock at individual dealers instead of just with Mercedes central parts warehouse?

Regards

Tan

They're handed, same with ABC struts.

Not cheap either...

I have finally heard from Mercedes today that the part is on its way from Germany, but it has been put on a truck with hazardous parts so will take 14 working days to get to the UK. Is this normal for air struts to travel this way?

yes. Anything under pressure does.
