hello mbworld hows it going?


my right Front tire dropped after 1-2 days of parking. ABC Light comes on and warning said "car too low". I hit the raise level then everything goes back to normal until a couple days later. I noticed the front right strut has a darker than usual appearance on the bottom half. Looks like some kind of leak. Thinking about taking it to a mechanic….Car has 36k miles.

Can I please get some info from you guys? What could it be other than having to replace the entire strut? Do you think I could just perform an ABC flush (rodeo test) and it will solve the issue? Any tips would be appreciated, thanks.

Most likely a check valve on that side is leaking or the valve block. I'd make sure everything else is in good working order before going to the strut itself.
