Mercedes-Maybach X222, VV222 4MATIC Air Spring Front Left or Right

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class has always been the flagship of the Stuttgart automobile manufacturer. In the Maybach X222/VV222 (S 500/S 600) 4MATIC series, which rolled off the assembly line in 2015, the high level of driving comfort is primarily generated by the standard air suspension. The Aerosus Air Spring offered here is installed on the front axle on the left. The Air Spring is compatible with all Maybach X222/VV222 (S 500/S 600) 4MATIC models, which have an all-wheel drive. For vehicles that only have rear-wheel drive, we offer separate Springs in our shop. How the Suspension of the Maybach X222/VV222 (S 500/S 600) 4MATIC Mercedes S-Class Works Mercedes-Benz models fitted with an air suspension system are designated as Airmatic. Thanks to various sensors, the control unit automatically adapts the suspension setting to the driving modes (Sport, Comfort), road conditions and speed. For example, an initially soft suspension becomes firmer at higher speeds and thus provides significantly more driving stability. Air-Spring Leakage or Level Control Failed - Reasons for a Defect The front of your Mercedes lowers unilaterally or stays crooked? As with many other car parts, air Springs wear out, so they need to be replaced over the years. First signs of a problem are leaks of the shock absorbers due to oil loss as well as a reduced resilience due to compressed air loss. The vehicle lowers overnight on the front axle or the compressor runs too long? This may be an indication that the affected suspension parts should be replaced. Even if the shock absorbers leak oil and your car loses oil or you hear loud thumping noises while driving, you should not wait too long before repairing the failed parts. A cable break, faulty solenoid valve on the valve block or damaged pressure relief valve on the compressor can also cause that the vehicle can no longer be lowered or the damping is significantly harder than usual. Furthermore, residual pressure retaining valves, level or acceleration sensors may also be defective. In such case, these parts supply the Airmatic control with improper values, which also makes the air suspension shocks quite hard. Tips on Changing and Correctly Installing Suspension Parts In any case, it is advisable to leave the installation or assembly of our spare parts to expert workshop staff. After installing the front shock absorber, connect the diagnostic device to the vehicle and fill the shock absorbers with compressed air according to the instructions of the vehicle manufacturer and initiate the next steps. After installing the front air-suspension Spring, don't immediately fill the air Springs with compressed air, as the axles of the lifted vehicle are hanging down and are therefore outside the control range of the Airmatic control unit. For this reason, after installing the new shock absorber, you should lower the vehicle until the wheels are back in contact with the ground and the distance between the wheel centre and the fender is approximately 40 cm. Please don't lower the vehicle completely, as the air spring isn't completely filled with compressed air.
