W203 Mercedes Front Strut Replacement DIY (2003-2007 Mercedes-Benz W203 C240, C280, C320, C350)

►If the front of your Mercedes W203 feels a bit soft and wallowy over the bumps, then it's likely time for a front strut replacement. The struts control how the car reacts to bumps and dips in the road, and nearly 100,000 miles of use significantly reduces their effectiveness. Replacing the struts yourself is a great way to remedy the poor suspension feel and save yourself some money.
Follow along with Mike Hidalgo, FCP Euro's Professional DIY'er, as he performs strut replacement on a W203 Mercedes C280 4-Matic.

Great video. Have to do a coil swap on one of these and was thinking i needed a SPECIAL tool for MB so happy i can do it like regular ones.

[@javier-m75]

man so much easier when you have the right tools...

Excellent video. One thing that strikes me, not related to the job at all, is that so readily accessible engine mount sitting right there out "in the open." Genuinely inviting. V8 engine owners know what I am taking about and why I had to say something about that. 😉

Big fan of your DIY videos as always. Thank you so much for sharing would be interesting if you made a stiffer or performance shock because I own a 2004 w203 4matic.

Hi, nice video as usual. I would like to see a fuel filter change on this car (W203). Thanks
