Product Information

Not for vehicles with ABC or 4Matic

Arnott's completely rebuilt OE Mercedes-Benz front air struts for 1999-2006 S-Class sedans feature a new rubber air spring bladder manufactured by Continental ContiTech. Arnott improved the upper seal design, using an O-ring sealing technology rather than the original epoxy that cracked, causing leaks and other damage.

Air Suspension Strut

An air suspension strut is a key component in vehicles equipped with air suspension systems. It combines a traditional shock absorber with an air spring (a rubber bladder filled with pressurized air). The strut supports the vehicle’s weight, absorbs road impacts, and adjusts ride height for comfort and handling. Over time, the air bladder, seals, or internal shock can wear out, leading to ride and handling issues.

Air Suspension Strut Failure Symptoms
  • Sagging or uneven ride height – one corner or the entire vehicle sits lower than normal.
  • Rough or bouncy ride – poor damping from a worn shock or air bladder leak.
  • Air compressor overuse – system runs constantly to compensate for air leaks in the strut.

Great, long-lasting product at an affordable price
The bottom line? This is the BEST replacement airmatic shock assembly on the market for your W220 Chassis. The best part? It comes at the most affordable price here at FCP Euro. The shipping quality is top notch, so you know your item will be arriving intact, safe and sound in appropriate packaging! The RMA Process for return of the core is easy to follow, especially since they email you the instructions separately from your order information email that is sent after purchase. The truth? I will be back to FCP Euro for all my lifetime guarantee products I need to make my European automobile stay healthy and clean! Thank you, FCP Euro for this second airmatic shock I bought from your business.

Arnott s500 review
Product looks and feels better than the cardone ones I had originally bought.... but there was still an internal defect with one so my S500 has been down over a month and still waiting on a replacement. Some fault to the dealership though.

mercedes S class, arnott airmatic shocks
I have been a devout lifelong OEM parts person. Gradually with greater availability and higher quality parts being available, have slowly and reluctantly started using aftermarket parts. In this case the OEM parts would have nearly totaled the car based upon costs. These Arnott units were a viable option. Parts look to be of very nice quality. Fit was excellent. Shipping by FCP was fast. I received the parts faster than OEM and did not have to leave the shop. I will be using FCP again. Only disappointment is having to pay a lot of money to ship the cores back. It woud be nice if FCP would at least use their shipping power to include return shipping. The $200 core is going to cost $50-60 to return.
