According to my mechanic it is time to replace all 8 of my airbags on my W900 (AG200 suspension). Just curious if anyone has an idea of what is to be expected for both the cost of labor and parts?

Why, are all eight of them leaking or cracked beyond use?
If they aren't, there's no need to replace them yet.Last edited: Feb 7, 2018
AModelCat Thanks this. -
I agree. Unless they're leaking or damaged/deteriorated I wouldn't be too concerned about it.
You're probably looking at about $100-$150 per bag plus a few hours labour. Wouldn't be suprised to see the bill in the $1,200-$1,400 range. -

If you have the dough to put down replacing them then i would go ahead and do it. Peace of mind anyways.

I ain't everybody....I'd replace all of them without a second thought. They last a long time, n if they're starting to crack up they been on there quite a while.ShooterK2, IH Truck Guy, blairandgretchen and 2 others Thank this. -
I had one go on the road - pain in the rear.
The other 7 got replaced quick smart when I got home. $100 or less odd each.
If one is starting to perish, the others will follow.ShooterK2 and IH Truck Guy Thank this. -
Back when I still had trucks with air ride, I always carried fittings with me to cap it off so I can replace it in the field using the trucks air system as a jack. First one I lost I was back up and running in about two hours including chasing down parts. Since then they got replaced when they were starting to look bad.
ShooterK2 Thanks this.
