Have you noticed your Mercedes’ front end bouncing a little too much in your everyday driving? Are the smallest potholes in the road enough to send a shock up your spine? Your front struts and springs may have given up. Luckily, we’ve prepared an easy to follow video on replacing the front struts and springs on W203 and W209 Mercedes Benz’s, but the general idea is the same for cars.

badkid73 says:

Video would have been more useful if you had used stock springs or standard Bilstein springs which are longer than sport springs. The W203/W209 Strut is known to be the most difficult strut to compress/assemble, and a Baum 1117J compressor (or cheap Chinese clone) usually doesn't suffice. By the way, that spring compressor is NOT to be used with impact/power tools.

Mark Cadman says:

Do you have a video for a mb w212 2011 shocks and coil spring replacement? Or is it very similar ? I would rather watch these than auto doc because you speak and it helps immensely.

Hi guys.
I noticed you don't have the front shocks for w203 c240 2004 wagon on your website.
If you do, kindly respond with the link to the page.

Regards
