- This video I've made to share my opinion and facts about Arnott product that is claiming to be an exact fit of the the front struts that will replace the OEM Strats on the Mercedes W218 4matic
Thanks for sharing this info with us, it is informative. I had to change the struts before and nowhere was information about the risk of changing notOEM parts.
I installed remanufactured parts as3237 and 3238, they are identical to the Mercedes OE.
Thanks for the video answered all the questions that I had.
Nice, will have to dedicate few hours to work on my baby. Well done!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
internal fault few month after replacing with Arnott strut. Never problem with oem strut that's 2 yrs old
Thanks for the video.... that help to resolve the same problem that i got on my "banan"
I really apreciate the effort you did.... and im pretty sure that will help a lot of "banan owners"...
How many miles do u have on yours???
Thanks for sharing as i have to change mine on cls63 amg W219 and Arnott front struts are $1835 each in Australia for the same money I can order Bilsteins from FCP euro. I have not seen one good review on Arnott and definitely don't want to put myself trough this stress of replacement.
Are those air struts the Bilstein? From my understanding they are regular coils
I haven’t heard a good review for Arnott either..
@kdukes2000 i just put em on my 2014 fronts. Shit is garbage. Car towed to dealer. They rode hard AF and car all mixed up. Not sure diagnosis yet from mercedes in Austin. Either way go OEM for any part when it comes to these cars.
@@scottp6761 Same here.. REGRET getting Arnott's - they absolutely stiff and suck... Will be ripping them off and throwing into a garbage bin once I get original ones
@@searay260sundeckforsale4 i tore mine out already. Junk. Went oem from mercedes.
ARNOTT is bullshit, just good marketing but not good product. I used their strut before on my old car S430 and it leaked out completely after 2 months, and it wasn't that cheap either. I'd rather pay more for genuine Mercedes part than saving a little on junk like Arnott in the beginning but end up paying even more than paying for the genuine part at the end.
How long does it take to replace both front struts?
I am having trouble removing the T-40 screw connected to the stabilizer link. Can you tell me please when you hold the nut with 18mm wrench and loosen the T-40 screw, do you turn the impact wrench to right or to left to get it out? I can't see clearly in the video, but I tried to see the movement of the device and I was guessing that it was turning to the right, but I want to make sure first, can you please respond to this question asap cuz I tried working on my car 2 times and couldn't deal with the T-40 screw. I even broke 2 of T-40 screw drivers in the process and I am beginning to think that I am turning the impact wrench the wrong way (left). I'd appreciate your help on this.
Look at the threads if you can see them. Also you should always use a wrench and socket to start. You can feel if it’s getting tighter
Thanks for the info
I got a leaking shock drivers side, I have CLS550 2012 I believe is the same part .
Can you tell me where can I buy the replacement and part number, and place have it for better price.
Thank you brother
I have the same car. $1800-$2100 in CA. Have you found I cheaper OEM online yet?
Oh great I just paid a lot of money for two of them for my W212 e550 4 matic
My original went bad at only 48K miles, under warranty the company replaced with the Arnott junk... Words cannot describe how much these Arnott suck - the ride quality has decreased 2x, it rides MUCH stiffer and I can feel almost every bump, almost like a BMW.. Please, stay away from Arnott (unless you don't mind the ride quality) and get original.. I'm paying out of my pocket this time for the original which are about 3K both, but can't stand the ride of Arnotts
arnott is a piece of shit. I put them in my s550 and 10,000 miles and they rattle like an old bucket.
Same here - they are absolutely awful! My insurance company convinced me to replace my original with this crap and I regret being taken adavtage of. Arnotts suck! Please anyone reading this - do NOT ever get Arnotts - HORIBBLE!
