I recently replaced the hydraulic suspension/leveling valve on my 1986 560 SEL. Other than opening the breeder on top of the valve, is there any other step necessary to finish the job and make the suspension operational i.e. loose the connection at the top of each strut to bleed the air between the valve and the strut??
Can anyone advise me on repairing worn struts and bearings? When I drive my 87 300SDL, it shakes violently if I'm going 40-50 miles an hour. A mechanic has identified the strut bearings as the problem. (I'm not entirely sure what that means.) He has quoted me $60 each side for the parts, and 4 hours labor charge. Does this sound reasonable? Can I get the necessary parts on this site for less? Is this a repair that could be done at home? I appreciate your replys. Thanks, Erin

Hi All,
I was working on a Heater motor problem and made the tragic mistake of unpluging the radio while attempting to pull the ACC unit. My MB Tech. Companion said my particular radio was equiped with an anti- theft device that scrambles the radio when unsuspecting dolts like myself disconect them. Has anybody got any advise as to how to restore the settings?
Thanks
