Front Struts 2003 E320
 
I think my 2003 E320 needs new struts, since the car hits the bumps in the road kinda hard lately. My wife doesn't go around many potholes.

I've rebuilt chevy 350 engines before and pulled transmissions, and replaced rear shocks in the past on GM trucks, but I've never touched a MB front end before.

Is replacing the struts something I can do at home?

Thanks

Requires a "funky" spring compressor.

Before you spend any money, make sure you check the entire front end!!! Those cars eat upper and lower ball joints way faster than struts.
