4Matic Front Shock Replacement Help
 
Trying to figure out the procedure for replacing the front shock on a 2001 E430 4matic. Has anybody done this job? Can somebody provide me with a littke bit of detail? Looks like I need to drop the front axels to get it done.
Thanks!!

If you're trying this at home in your driveway I wouldn't reccommend it!

Do you have the correct spring compressor? The knuckle needs to be moved and axle pushed out of the way and front control arm has to be dropped to get the shock out. It's no fun job by any means.
