Right side won’t air up

[Liljojo12347]

Hey everyone, i recently started having problems with my suspension. My driver side air strut had gone bad and stopped airing up. i recently switched it out with a new one, but it still doesn’t air up. right side is a couple inches lower than the left. i’m not sure how to go about fixing this issue.

i have also thought about deleting the airride system and getting a set of aftermarket clovers. are there any recommendations you guys have about repairing it or recs on any coil overs?

Thank you very much beforehand.

Hi, what car is this? The 500E does not have any airride system at all, there are ordinary struts with springs up front, and the rear is springs with hydraulic struts.

I think this fellow may have a 211;-)

That aside, he needs a new air distribution block.. Also, making the assumption you have properly checked and cleared all codes in your AIRMATIC control unit.

I don't like them on coilovers, most are garbage.

That said, MCS and Intrax are Nice, Followd by KW.

Just bear in mind, swapping out for static suspension will cost you on the front end And on the re-sale so it's a double hit....and Really AIRMATIC on a 211 is a fabulously reliable system IME.
