Good Day All.
I have spent the last week working on my 1988 230TE.
I have had to fit new front spring as they where broken.
I have spent all of today removing the rear axle and subframe, so that I can at long last replace the bushes.
And at the same time to replace the brake lines and the SLS pipes.
My 1st three questons are.
(1) Aprox how much new are the SLS pipes from the shocks to the spheres.
(2) Once eveything is back on the car how do I bleed air out of the shocks, I can't see any bleed nipple on the stocks, only on the SLS valve.
(3) Do I have to use Merc only SLS fluid, I ask as I have a trade discount card at halfords, I will not be using there own brand, but a branded name.
Thanks for your time.
