Added to my faves list…thanks for all this helpful instruction! I was literally just thinking about this last night.
We need more of Kyle and W166 videos! Keep up the amazing videos
Great video Kyle, always love the details and tips
Love my 2015 ML W166 🇬🇧, just had my Brakes & pads done at Great Mercedes Independent Specialist, Great video
Haven't seen Kyle present one of these videos before. Great overview. Hope he can do more of these in the future.
We have a bunch like this of Kyle here on the channel! Search Mercedes Diagnostics
Great informational video.
Awesome!! more video of W166 thanks! Ill buy some parts from your store!
Great Video, Thanks !
Great video, thank's for sharing
Thank you for watching!
Great video, thanks Kyle! I’m a bit horrified at how expensive the replacement parts are for x166 chassis.
Hi Kyle,
I enjoyed watching your videos! Very well done- thank you. I do have a few questions for you.
I have 2013 ML 63 and planning to replace the front air structs, upper control arms, lower control arms, front sway bar links, and front axles.
I having issues finding torques specs for the items listed above. Would you happen to the specs or could you recommend a book/manual or software I can purchase for the torque specs?
Thanks.
Please post a video on 221 chassis . Long time request pending !
Very informative video thank you. I seem to have developed a creak in my GL X166 suspension when going over bumps. I am so not excited at the endless possibilities.
Crossing our fingers its a simple fix!
Did you find the source of the problem. I'm a new W166 owner and have a similar issue. Sway bar links seem to be a common cause. Would have thought they would have been more emphasized here. Great video still.
Do you have a video on replacing the front struts on 2015 W166 ML250?
What a great overview! Recently picked up a high milage W166 and have a feeling I'm going to have a shop press weekend. lol! Debating if I should go Sachs or Bilstein B4's for shocks. I'll reach out to your techs
Happy wrenching, either option will be great for the W166!
Great video. Can we see a 2017+ Audi Q7 maintenance series? I have a 2018 Q7 3.0T you can use to film the series.
Thank you! We plan on providing maintenance series on many different makes and models in which we will be sure the 2017+ Audi Q7 is one of them!
MB had worst bushing in a car especially AMG GLE63S, very less mileage will damage could you advise better bushing and air suspension for GLE63S. Thanks.
Awesome video but a lot of the bushings you said were “deteriorated” really don’t look that bad that will warrant a change. Yes worn, but not deteriorated…if it’s making noise then of course. Changing all the bushings every 60k miles is a bold statement though. Sway Bar links definitely…but control arm bushings,etc….not at all. But at least you do say to check your vehicle to make sure you need them.
@kyle bascomb
your very professional sounding knowledgeable speak very well your meant for something like this great teacher no homo
Which air strut does Mercedes ML350 use ? I mean is it Arnott , Bilstein or Sachs ? Thanks !
I don’t see sway bar link end on your website for 2015 MB GL550 I see lots and nuts but no sway bar link
My ML 350 2015 (W166) is going low , lowering down on rear side when i leave and comeback , I see it so low, as soon as I turn on or open the door, it will raise up, is this a settings issue or my air absorbers are leaking or down
My front end raises up , the rear goes down,, what causes this
Hi, i am about to change my rear control arms, i need the torque spec for all rear suspension in ft lb please. I have been searching to no avail. Thanks
Its a gl550 2015 x166
Your opinion on owning a 08 Mercedes e350 with 230k miles mostly highway thx!
If you can turn your own wrench it's worth considering.
My rear suspension broken around 75k on 2012 ML350. Really pathetic that the Germans made delicate darling for something considered as an off road vehicle. Labor on W166 was through the roof!
