Conversion Kit Details

The Arnott C-5038 is a passive suspension conversion solution that replaces the factory air spring setup with steel coil spring strut assemblies. For Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon owners dealing with aging air suspension components, this kit provides a direct path to a conventional spring setup while retaining electronic fault management through Arnott’s patented Electronic Bypass Module. The C-5038 is engineered for rear applications on the Mercedes-Benz E350, E500, and E320 wagon platforms listed in the fitment data.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems This Kit Addresses

• Air suspension warning lights on the dashboard
• Failure of rear air springs or related air suspension components
• Uneven rear ride height caused by worn air suspension parts
• Loss of consistent suspension support in the rear of the vehicle
• Need to convert a Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon from air suspension to coil springs
