1981 to 1985 300TD Wagon SLS Rear Suspension Components - USED

Removed from a rust-free and working SLS 1981 turbo wagon.

Even though these were working when removed, I have no way of knowing how long they will work. The fittings, rubber mounts, and hoses will be fine. The accumulators are probably a recent replacement, but there is NO Warrantee on the struts, and I have priced these parts accordingly.

1985 300TD Wagon SLS High and Low Pressure Hose Set
