Product Details

ABC Strut by Arnott®. Arnott now offers a completely rebuilt Active Body Control (ABC) strut. Each strut is painstakingly tested, disassembled and rebuilt from the ground up. Arnott has worked directly with one of the largest seal manufacturers to design and test a nearly indestructible polyurethane seal you can expect to last for many years. The Arnott design is not only more efficient, it’s also much more affordable! Each strut is backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

If the ride height on your air suspension-equipped vehicle sags in the corners overnight or during driving, faulty or worn air springs, struts, or shocks are most likely the issue. Air spring assemblies contain a flexible air bladder made of a multi-layer elastomer material that is reinforced by nylon cords. The inner layer is designed to be airtight, but over time as the bladder stretches to absorb forces within the air spring, cracks form as rubber naturally ages and dries out. Should you find yourself in the predicament of having to replace front air shocks or struts, Arnott offers completely new units that are rigorously designed and built to the fine OEM tolerances that your vehicle’s own manufacturer used. Plus, new Arnott parts are built using components from many of the same name brand companies such as Goodyear, Continental, Wabco, and others that your vehicle manufacturer used originally. Everything is sized and shaped precisely to original equipment dimensions, so these replacements are easy to bolt on without modification.

For even greater values, Arnott offers remanufactured air shocks, struts, and shocks that are made from cores purchased directly from vehicle manufacturers. After inspection of metal framework, all wear parts and parts that may have failed are then replaced. As with all-new springs, remanufactured ones are assembled with new parts sourced from brand name suppliers that your vehicle manufacturer may have used originally.

While it’s easy to assume the higher cost of “factory” parts you’ll pay a dealer reflects a much higher level of quality, that is not always the case. What it most often does reflect is the fact that dealerships mark up their parts 100 percent to cover their own high overhead costs of modernized buildings as well as the costs to heat, cool, and staff those modern all-glass structures. Because Arnott uses only high-quality components and seeks to improve internal parts which are known weak spots of factory designs, you’ll actually get equal (if not superior) quality air suspension items for a fraction of the cost. Arnott backs their air springs, shocks, and struts with a limited lifetime warranty for North American customers, and a 2-year warranty on orders outside of North America.

Went On Great.
Strut looks better than new, installed easily (some trouble getting the quick connect back together). Car rides well. A bit pricy but everything connected with Mercedes is also expensive. Shipping was surprisingly quick. Core return instructions were not with strut, but came by email a few days later after my phone call.

Lifetime Warranty Is Great!
First one did not last long. Free replacement was just installed. Trouble free lifetime warranty. No issues, but labor & fluid to have, repair outlet install was $250.00.

Mercedes-Benz Shock
Item was promptly delivered and you couldn't even tell it was a refurbished item. Installation instructions were online and easy to follow.

Perfect Fit, No Hassle
Swapped out my worn struts with these. They fit like factory, just bolt on and go. Ride quality is just as good as stock, if not better. These are not cheap but the dealership wanted way more for a fix.

Saved My Wallet and My Car
The dealership wanted double the cost for this job. I went with this, quality's just as good as the original. the ride is amazing again. Car feels like it's floating just how a Benz should.

Only Lasted a Year
Only lasted about 11 months before they broke. Do not recommend.

Perfect for 2012 Denali
These were exact replacements for my rear autoride air shocks on my 2012 Yukon Denali with Z55 autoride package. They solved my issue of the rear sagging when towing a trailer and also improved the overall ride again. I was able to replace both rear shocks without using any jacks at all, with the wheels on, and without removing any side panels.

Purchased for 2011 escalade platinum with magneride and awd.
I didnt' want to deal with spring compressors and complications so I was searching for a complete solution and also the magneride shocks cost more than my trucks worth I think. lol They went on without a hitch, no error codes and ride great. Bouncy at first but let them settle in and they ride great. I have been looking to see which ones to use for the rear. Can anyone help with a part number for z95 with air as well. I want to eliminate the magneride and I don't mind eliminating the air bags as well because I don't tow.

Great Product
I purchased Arnott AS-2177 rear shock absorbers for my 97 Cadillac Seville SLS. My vehicle is 24 years old, I was apprehensive to install air shocks, not knowing if my Seville had holes in the air lines or air compressor would need replacement etc... Thought it could become a money pit. My main concern was even though the Arnott conventional shocks had all the connections for my computer, would it fool the computer. I spoke with Jeremy Cocal with CARiD. I explained my concerns and Jeremy called tech support to make sure my onboard computer would indeed be fooled. I had a mechanic install them ( so I don't know if he had any trouble). Lo and behold, my computer is fooled, the ride is great, back to the smooth Cadillac ride. I will purchase front shocks when needed from CARiD, would like to speak with Jeremy when I am ready to purchase. I highly recommend, CARiD, Jeremy and Arnott conventional rear shock absorbers for anyone who has an older Cadillac apprehensive to install air shocks. ~NHL~
