Well so far with this vehicle the following have had to be replaced
since I have owned it:
all 4 air shocks
replaced LF air shock again
air suspension compressor
COMAND unit
Transfer case
From working on this vehicle it is nice and all, but it is not near the
quality of the MB of old.

So your newest Benz needed major repair - not a good sign.

I curse the person who came up with the driveshaft connection on these
things. It's easy to get to, but impossible to get the rear drive shaft to
clear the transfer case. I buggered but the end cap that holds the grease
in when removing it. Got it bend sort of straight and was able to get it
back on the driveshaft. Anyway, I got a used care off eBay out of a 09 GL
with 70k miles. When it arrived it looked almost brand new. Got it wrestled
back into place, ended up having to drop the drive shaft center support
mount to get just enough slack to get the shaft back connected to the case.
Got it all put back together and took it for a drive. No more bad
grinding/rattling under acceleration. I was worried I was going to pick up
some drive shaft vibration but I took it up to 60 and seems smooth. I sure
as hell do not get why they changed to these star type bolts, thru just
seem cheap to me plus I had to get a new set of sockets for these. Now on
to the next project. I have a good feeling this was what was wrong with
Wilts sons car.
