Mercedes-Benz Air Suspension diagram for GLE63 AMG S, GLS63 AMG, GLE53 AMG

An air suspension spring (also called an air spring or airbag) is a flexible rubber and fabric component used in place of traditional coil springs. It is inflated with compressed air to support the vehicle’s weight and adjust ride height. Air springs are commonly found in luxury cars, SUVs, and heavy-duty vehicles.

• Vehicle sagging – one corner, one side, or the whole car sits lower than normal.
• Rough or bouncy ride – loss of cushioning, making the vehicle feel harsh over bumps.
• Air compressor running constantly – the system tries to compensate for leaking or failed air springs.

About Genuine Mercedes

The original parts used by Mercedes Benz to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Mercedes Benz” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Mercedes Benz, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Mercedes Benz Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Mercedes-Benz are not necessarily manufactured by Mercedes-Benz. No cause for concern, as Mercedes-Benz designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Mercedes-Benz for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Mercedes-Benz logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
