Hey im new here my name is Jonathan i live near Chino Ca. I was wondering if anyone has ever taken out the ABC tandem pump from 2004 CL500 and replaced it with a PS pump from an S500/S430 without ABC? I really want to take the whole ABC system out of my car lines and all.

 

The other day I noticed professionally-rebuilt ABC valve blocks on eBay for just $230. When I bought my first ABC-equipped car a valve block was $1200. Back then a strut was $2000; now you can get a new replacement for c. $350. Owners are saving money on hoses by having local hydraulic shops replicate them rather than buying expensive OEM. With falling prices for ABC parts the difference in cost to maintain ABC vs. a conventional suspension is approaching a point where I think it's difficult to make a case for conversion.

 

I was going to run a aftermarket airbag setup and thought i might just get rid of the whole system itself. Ive herd of people plugging them when they did this but i didtnt want to mess with any kind of hose leaks in the future.

 

use search tons of writings
good luck

 

yep...I'm planning on doing the same thing here soon.

 

If you get any info about aftermarket airmatic stuff please post it
very interesting attempt

 

Add this and it will rebuild your o rings and seals, and no worries for 5 years, if your pump is not worn out.
