A2223200404 Front Right Air Suspension Shock Strut for Mercedes-Benz W222 V222 X222 S550 (2014--) 2 matic
Original OE Number: A2223200404
Product Name: Mercedes-Benz W222 Front Right Air Shock Absorber, S-Class Front Axle Right Airmatic Air Suspension Strut Assembly, Front Right Air Strut Assembly with ADS Electronic Adaptive Damping
Installation Position: Front axle right side (Front Right Only, cannot be fitted to front left). Perfect matching pair for A2223200403 (Front Left). Fits all Mercedes-Benz W222 chassis S-Class vehicles equipped with factory Airmatic air suspension plus ADS adaptive damping system, compatible with both 2WD and 4MATIC 4WD. It is a core frequently replaced maintenance part for front body balance, intelligent damping switching, high-speed stability, vibration absorption and noise reduction.
Product Description
OE A2223200404 is factory dedicated front right air strut assembly with ADS electronic control for Mercedes W222 S-Class. It is position-specific and only for front right, forming OEM matched pair together with front left A2223200403. The assembly adopts multi-layer high-pressure burst-proof composite air spring, precision hydraulic damper cylinder, OEM-style ADS adaptive solenoid valve and multiple heavy-duty high-pressure sealing structures. Cooperating with Mercedes Airmatic intelligent air suspension system and real-time ADS damping adjustment logic, it automatically adjusts damping stiffness based on vehicle speed, road condition and load. It balances low-speed ride comfort, high-speed stability, anti-roll performance during cornering and shock absorption on rough roads, fully matching the high-end flagship chassis calibration standard of W222 S-Class.
W222 features heavy curb weight and high front axle load. Under long-term working conditions including city stop-and-go traffic, highway cruising and bumpy road impacts, together with aging caused by seasonal temperature changes, mud and moisture corrosion on chassis, repeated inflation and deflation cycles, the front right air strut becomes a highly vulnerable component. Common OEM defects: rubber airspring aging, hardening, cracking, bulging and slow air leakage; internal oil seal wear and hydraulic oil degradation lead to weak damping and loose rebound; carbon deposit, stuck valve, signal drift and delayed response of ADS solenoid valve trigger electronic fault codes. Typical vehicle failure symptoms: front right sag, overnight front end drop on right side, low right front corner, asymmetric front posture, frequent air compressor activation, slow or stuck ride height adjustment, failed height calibration, air suspension / ADS warning lamp on dashboard, bouncy front end over speed bumps, unstable front end at high speed, loose steering chassis noise and greatly degraded premium ride quality. Continuous driving with faulty strut will rapidly consume the service life of air compressor, valve block, air dryer and height sensor, cause cascading air suspension faults and raise total repair cost significantly.
This A2223200404 front right ADS air strut is 1:1 reproduced strictly according to Mercedes OEM data. Front-right-specific stroke dimension, pressure rating, damping coefficient, airspring burst pressure, ADS electronic parameters, mounting holes and bushing interface size all match OEM specifications 100%, symmetrically paired with front left A2223200403. It adopts thickened multi-layer imported high-pressure rubber airspring with wide temperature resistance, double leak-proof sealing structure, rust-resistant thickened precision piston rod, long-life anti-degradation hydraulic oil and high-sensitivity OEM-grade ADS solenoid valve. Upgraded anti-aging, anti-crack, anti-corrosion, anti-fatigue and burst resistance fundamentally solves original factory defects of W222 front struts: air leakage, front sag, weak damping, ADS fault codes, asymmetric posture and abnormal height adjustment. This version is dedicated for W222 full range with ADS, front right only, compatible for both 2WD and 4MATIC. Direct bolt-on installation without chassis modification. Air tightness inspection, ride height calibration and ADS electronic matching calibration are required after installation. Fully compatible with original Airmatic air suspension and ADS adaptive damping electronic system. It can fully repair faults such as front right sag, one-side air leakage, tilted body, loose chassis, high-speed instability and ADS warning, restoring the firm, stable and comfortable flagship chassis texture of Mercedes S-Class. This product features high stability and ultra-low return rate, suitable for garage maintenance, bulk stocking and cross-border export business.

Main OE Numbers: A2223200404
Interchangeable OE Numbers: A2223200104, A2223200204, A222320040480
Interchange Remark: The above OE numbers are iterative OEM interchange references for W222 front right ADS air struts. They share identical structure dimension, damping coefficient, ADS electronic parameters, mounting holes and pressure rating, compatible for both 2WD and 4MATIC. Direct non-destructive replacement without chassis modification.
Q1: Which vehicles and position fit OE A2223200404?
A: Fits Mercedes‑Benz W222 S-Class 2013‑2020 with factory Airmatic air suspension and ADS adaptive damping. Installation position: front axle right side (front right only), compatible for 2WD and 4MATIC. Not applicable for front left, non-ADS, ABC, mechanical spring suspension or other chassis.
Q2: Can this strut be fitted on front left side?
A: Not available. This part is exclusive for front right. The structural design, damping parameters and mounting points differ between front left and front right struts and cannot be interchanged. Improper installation causes tilted posture, fault codes, insufficient support and vehicle pulling.
Q3: Can it be installed on W222 without ADS?
A: Not available. This assembly is built-in with ADS electronic solenoid valve. Non-ADS vehicles lack corresponding wiring harness and control program. Installation will trigger continuous fault codes and adaptive damping function will be completely invalid.
Q4: Does computer coding need after replacement?
A: No coding required, but air-tightness inspection, ride height calibration and ADS solenoid matching calibration must be performed, clear fault codes to restore full functions of air suspension and ADS intelligent damping adjustment.
Q5: What symptoms indicate replacement of this front right air strut?
A: Front right sag, overnight front right drop, low right front corner, asymmetric front posture, frequent compressor activation, slow stuck height adjustment, air suspension / ADS warning lamp on, bouncy front end over bumps, unstable front at high speed and loose steering chassis noise. These symptoms indicate airspring leakage or ADS solenoid failure, replacement is recommended.
Q6: Only front right is damaged, should I replace front struts in pair?
A: Pair replacement of front left and right struts (A2223200403 + A2223200404) is highly recommended. W222 flagship chassis requires high consistency on left-right damping, pressure retention and ADS response. Single-side replacement will cause asymmetric front support, highway instability, pulling and reduced comfort.
Q7: Is this strut interchangeable between 2WD and 4MATIC W222?
A: Yes. It fits all W222 models with ADS air suspension. Mounting holes, pressure rating and electronic logic of 2WD and 4MATIC chassis are identical for direct bolt-on installation.
Q8: Are interchange OE numbers mutually replaceable?
A: Yes. All interchange OEs are universal iterative parts for W222 front right ADS air struts. Dimension, structure, electronic and pressure parameters are fully consistent for direct bolt-on swap.
