Fantastic air spring for shocks, struts and suspension

Fitted a few months ago, very nice and solid. There are no cons yet. I also replaced the other side with the same product and seller about a year ago. Still drives like new.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Concise instructions

Part of OEM price, very similar result

Easy replacement for OEM bag. Just plug and play, just follow the instructions. Maybe a little stiffer than the OEM in the corners, but otherwise feels the same a year later.

Pros
  • nice item
Cons
  • clarity

Perfect replacement for MB GL450 - easy installation

Perfect replacement for MB GL450 - easy installation. It took longer to jack up the SUV and remove the tire than it did to install a new air spring. Installed more than 6 months ago, no problems.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • not reliable

Quality replacement parts

The cheap replacement air springs I bought for my Mercedes 4Matic SUV broke after a few months of fitting so I bought them. Arnott fit perfectly and are excellent OEM quality. Although the price is a bit higher, do yourself a favor and just buy Arnotts, you won't regret it.

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Delivery too slow for mechanical repair

Good quality Arnott airbag only it comes too slowly and I have to run my truck right after the new year so I have no choice. but order on the spot without waiting for his arrival. I'm still debating whether to keep it or return it as I don't use it yet unless the other rear air fails.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Working speed

Caused by tire "scalloping " (uneven tire wear)

Fits and works perfectly for my 2008 GL320CDI without ADS. As described, fast shipping, great price. Update 03/26/2015: There are nicks/nicks on the inside of the driver's rear tire profile since installation. Arnott part replaced with OEM factory part. Arnott is now confirmed as the partial source of the cans/shells. The tires have been replaced and there is no more uneven wear.

Pros
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty. Easy to install design and impact resistant top and bottom mounts
Cons
  • Doubtful

Arnott Air Spring for Mercedes GL450

This is the easiest to install part on this car I've ever done, easier than even changing the air filters! Also imagine they should be an upgraded part and have a good warranty. I felt much more comfortable with this branded product than with the cheaper no-name products from other suppliers. This product claims to use Continental branded cylinders for the air spring and my personal experience with Continental products has been very positive. I highly recommend this product. Install it…

Pros
  • Designed and assembled in the USA
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

Don't waste money!

I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. They claim to be GL-class compatible, but the spring specs state a maximum pressure of 100psi. A no load GL is 113psi, with a trailer is 145psi as shown on the shop scanner. As you can see, the minimum air spring load is greater than the MAX. psi inches of spring, it also means Arnott has to tell people they can't use the part if the car has a tow kit. My first one exploded while being towed 400 miles from home. Arnott insisted it was just a defect. The…

Pros
  • Worth a fraction of the retail price
Cons
  • Small change
