Support the front left corner of your Mercedes-Benz on a cushion of air with the Arnott Industries AS-2853 Air Suspension Strut, a complete new strut assembly built with OE-quality components. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2009-2014 Mercedes-Benz CL550, 2012-2013 Mercedes-Benz S350 and 2013 Mercedes-Benz S500 equipped with both AIRMATIC and 4MATIC. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine details and the full list of vehicles.
- Tuned twin-tube shock absorber: custom-made and tuned, and designed to provide a responsive yet comfortable ride.
- Key components: built with a ContiTech air bladder, bump stop, connector, air line fitting and heavy-duty crimping rings.
- Pre-assembled: arrives assembled for easy installation.
- Resistor: designed to keep AIRMATIC dashboard warning lights from coming on.
In the assembly, the air bladder serves as the spring and the shock absorber damps body motion. Signs this strut may need replacing include a front corner that sags after parking, a compressor that runs more often than usual, AIRMATIC warning messages, or a harsh or bouncy ride. Diagnose the cause before replacing anything, because air lines, valves and the compressor can produce similar symptoms.
Engineered in the USA. This listing is for one front left strut. Arnott recommends replacing both front struts at the same time, so consider ordering the opposite front strut as well for a balanced pair.
