This is an 07 Benz E550 but I did not see an option for the 550. It's 4matic. I need to replace the front air strut as it is very bouncy. Driver side.

When you say the air strut, I assume you are not talking about the spring because that would not cause a bouncy feeling.

So, I am attaching the info on both the spring and strut just to ensure I give you what is in the manual.

However, here is a video that is on a similar vehicle that will help with this:

Please see the attached info and let us know how you make out with this.

Thanks

No there isn't a spring on it. Just an air strut. Car is leveled bit when you push down on the hood from that side it is so bouncy, the other 3 are fine.
