Yeah I’d be all over that. Moab about what a big deal it is blah blah and get it for less. Get a scanner if you go look at it, sometimes it might be something else that would show up like a leaky connection but if the strut is blown you can get an Arnott and pop it in. No big deal, maybe $350? I haven’t looked at them, do that before you go.
Prevailing wisdom is to do both at same time as the other one will probably blow out before long but who knows. You might be able to find one at a junkyard too for like $50 or less if you want to go cheap. The systems are quite straightforward, compressor in left forward wheel well, distribution block there then air lines running to each front and a distribution block/valve in rear with a leveling link to work the valve. Each strut has a sensor that tells the nanny what’s going on. --FT Sent from iFōn > On Aug 14, 2022, at 7:09 PM, Allan Streib via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > So that might be a pretty good deal then?
