Malcolm, i found a thread about rear coil spring fitment to a 2003 ml270cdi w163 and you advise you have fitting instructions? Since mine has just broken on one side the garage is quoting me £880 for the 2 and will only do the whole assembly.. Cannot afford it. Could you send me the instructions if you still have please to just do the springs?

Kind regards

Malcolm:

New to this site, I got 2001 ML430, recently found rear shock spring broken, and saw you might have the instruction to replace it. I am thinking to replace the whole set(a complete strut). wondering if you have the instruction for it.
Thanks a lot in advance,

here is my email mji512005@yahoo.com

OK you should have it :D:D
Hi there.

new to the forum having just purchased 2001 ml270cdi with 75k on the clock. Working my way through ball joint replacements, tie-rod inner arm, ARB bushes etc but stumbling on the rear springs which are broken. The shocks are off the car but i cannot find a tool to allow me to replace the springs. any advice here particularly welcome. I have the car stranded on a 2 post lift in a friends garage.(very embarrassing) MB are telling me they only change complete assemblies. Thanks, Graham

Easiest solution is to take the legs and new springs to a workshop equipped with a good strong spring compressor. They should be able to change the springs over in 15 - 20 minutes if they are any good.
Beats buying a suitable compressor and risking your life with it "losing" the spring in the process - very dangerous.
