Arnott AS-3163 Air Suspension Strut - Front Left
Front Left Air Suspension Strut for Mercedes-Benz S-Class
Arnott AS-3163 is a new front left air suspension strut for select 2014-2020 Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Maybach models with AIRMATIC and ADS. It replaces a worn OE unit with a new, custom-tuned shock absorber for a controlled ride and consistent suspension response.
Key Features
- New Arnott-engineered aftermarket air suspension strut
- Front left position for Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Maybach applications
- Designed for vehicles with AIRMATIC and ADS, without 4MATIC and without ABC
- Includes a new ContiTech air spring protected by an aluminum can
- Hydraulic internal damper with progressive spring rate
- Air adjustable design for ride-height control
- Assembled in the USA with Arnott seals, O-rings, bump stop, heavy-duty crimping rings, connector valve, and dust boot
- Mounting hardware included
Product Details
The Arnott AS-3163 is built as a direct replacement air suspension strut for the front left side of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class platform, including Maybach and AMG variants listed below. It uses a new shock absorber tuned for comfort and response, along with a ContiTech air spring and protective aluminum housing for durable operation. Arnott’s assembly also incorporates a boot, spring isolators, bearing plate, and upper mounting isolator to support proper fit and function. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. Arnott AS-3163 is a fitment-based replacement for drivers searching for a front left air strut for Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Maybach S650, or S-Class AMG models with AIRMATIC and ADS.
What It Helps Address
- Front-end sag from a leaking or worn air spring
- Excessive bouncing or poor damping from a failing strut
- Uneven ride height on the front left corner
- Noisy suspension operation caused by worn internal components
- Loss of ride comfort and steering stability

Professional installation and system inspection are recommended to confirm ride-height calibration and leak-free operation.
