    I have a 2003 w211 Mercedes e320 which is fitted with airmatic suspension.
    It failed Nct today on offside rear shock and I am being quoted big bucks to fix.
    Just wondering if anyone could steer me in the direction of a tame Merc specialist who may be able to help. Won't be able to sell it until fixed and Nct passed.
    Thanks

    Where are you located? I know a good guy in North Dublin, send me a PM if you want his details.

    I work for a merc specialist and would you beleave we only done a job quite similar for one of our customers which has two s classes. We changed one shock which in turn wen we retested the car brought a the front of the car suspension out of limits also. Just make sure u get someone who understands the airmatic setup. If your stuck just ask il help either.
    The shocks are a serious price to buy also

    It's a hard thing to get right. The star diagnostics helps a lot though if you can get access to one.

    I have the star and it won't get anything right if the struts gone bad

    Meant to mean handy when setting it up again once fixed. I've dealt with the air suspension setup on the viano ( similar setup to e class ) getting it all level afterwards is a problem but the star can/could control each corner individually which makes the calibration of the level sensors very easy.
