Mercedes Classe E - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe E W211 - Years 2002-2009
Part: Suspensions
Operation: How to replace the suspension of your car

Maintaining your car is very important. The guide shows how to replace the car suspension. It is not a very complicated operation but it requires a minimum of understanding and knowledge. The suspensions allow to absorb the stresses arriving at the car by understanding and expanding a gas contained within them. Without these the wheels would come off having no grip on the road and for this we will have a loss of control of the vehicle. We will need a compressor with pneumatic gun, jack, a spring tensioner, a ratchet wrench, a T-handle. The first thing to do is to lift the car with the help of the jack and remove the wheel: we put the reverse gear and brake by hand, we now remove the internal fenders, they are fixed by three plastic nuts, we push from the bottom up to release it. Once this is done, the mudguard comes off easily, now we position the jack under the cradle on the shock absorber side. When it comes out we put the car in line to facilitate the exit, now we unscrew the screw that holds the shock absorber with the same procedure as the lower one.
