latest part number for front struts and estimate cost
My car is lowering from the front left side (front and rear). ABC light in white is also coming up on screen. I have replaced the front valve block. The problem is still not solved. So i showed it to a new garage. After diagnosing the car, i am informed that the problem is in the front left strut. This could be possible as the front left strut was opened by my old garage. I am certain that he does not have the tools to fix the hydraulic strut and has messed it up. I am informed that i will have to replace both the front struts. Could someone please help me with the latest part number for the strut and also link to a good website where i can purchase the part.

You have 2 choices that I am aware of:
1. Go to the dealer, give them the VIN and they will get you the shocks. ~$2K each.
2. Contact these guys that rebuild them for $600 each.

Arnott has a great aftermarket strut. We have used them a lot.

Arnott is guaranteed lifetime while MB struts are not......installed one in front, no issue.....also much less expensive.......and better built.......

i used arnott. great product. also given that your car is sagging front and back you probably need to replace both or rebuild both valve blocks. not just the front. If i recall front is controlled by one block rear by the other.
