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.

What compressor was that?
5:42 how did u screw it when the thing isnt even out in the open
Tha k you!!! Just subscribed!! Question!
What rotors you have???
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.
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
What is that tool part number for the spring compressor
the new shock sports version from Bilstein (B$4) is 1inch shorter than the original Sach came from the car , can i install the original springs that came with it (3red dots)about 425-27mm)with this?
Excellent, clear camera angles. Thank you so much for the attention to detail.
Are the spring seat mounted at the same orientation for both left and right side struts?
What spring compressor tool was used in the video?
You're video really helped me out thanks a lot that's cool I really appreciate it
I have the clk 320 cdi sport with sports suspension, not sure if the correct replacement is thr bilstein b8?
Why you didnt buy springs also from Sachs manufacturer ? Are originals from mercedes better ?
did you order new springs of Sachs manufacturer ?
Where do i get the springs ?
Owning an 09 W209, I enjoyed seeing the work, saving the links and parts reference, as one day I will upgrade my suspension as per…
Thank you for showing Project CLK550, a very good video KUDOS!
how far are you supposed to tighten the lock ring? like is there a distence that strut should be compressed to? or just tighten as much as possible ?
Hello, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN sachs 300138 and sachs 300139, because in video you put sachs 300139 but in shop for sale is sachs 300138, can I put sachs 300138 for sport w203 ? thank you.

Hello, can you give me the link of spring compressor? Tagnks
This is the only video on YouTube that explains how to fit that little threaded retainer in the strut mount.

What’s about the special nut tool? Is the tool required or can a simple Allen tool work?
