Post up your chassis number, or, ask mecedes for a price and get them to email you the quote, it will have the pat number on it.
You'll need to replace the other side of the same axle as well!
Time/usage will affect the performance characteristics of all mechanical components and by adding a new component offside will not match the same characteristics of the existing nearside resulting in stability issues especially at higher speeds, ask your mechanic again I'm sure he'll advise the same.
Ask away anytime, there's no such thing as a silly question.
Agreed. Not required with SLS or ABC.Not with SLS struts.

The reasoning behind it is that over time the oil degrades inside the strut hence the characteristics of the damping will be different between a new strut and an old one.It would appear that I stand corrected by my better informed peers on the forum, my sincere apologies to the OP and the forum for my erroneous advice, I shall in future read the content of posters before responding.

With SLS and ABC the oil is common to all struts and pumped in a closed filtered circuit.
