So if the suspension compressor goes out can the vehicle be safely driven? And can it be safely driven with the compressor out of the vehicle while being repaired?
Thanks

I'm not a suspension expert on the X350 (yet) but my best guess would be... it would be safe until the air escapes out of the struts and I believe you would get a "suspension too low" message - which is not good and to the second part of your question - a "flat" out "no".

Are you referring to anti-sieze compound? I think it would be fine, but I usually install the wires dry, and then coat them with an anti-corrosion treatment after the nut is tight.
