2007 CL550 Replacing rear abc struts - BenzNinja

I wanted to post that I used RMT, a group out of Florida to purchase two rebuilt abc struts for my 2007 CL 550.
I was very very pleased with the quality, the struts were around $550 each. Each had a $200 core charge that is refunded after returning old strut(s). Postage to return old strut(s) is included in the above pricing. Also want to give a nod to Peter "BenzNinja" for helping me complete the final step… Level calibration, and plunger calibration. I purchased Peter's program about two years ago and his service has paid for itself 10X over the last two years. He assisted initially with the purchase of the laptop and additional diagnostic equipment, remotely signed in and programmed everything, and has helped diagnose-program any issues I have had with over last 2 years! Thanks Peter!!!!

Hello mate, when you changed the shock absorbers, did you do the detour, and did it work well? did you have to calibrate using xentry?

so sorry, I'm not familiar with what you are referring to with the term detour, the process after replacement is to do the front to back rodeo to bleed the system, then the final step, which is what Peter @BenzNinja performed using zentry, is a level calibration and plunger calibration 👍🏻

Thanks for posting this. I've been researching what to do with my 17 year old ABC system, and have looked at RMT in Florida. They have mixed reviews, so glad to hear someone here had a good experience. I wholeheartedly agree about BenzNinja. I joined about two years ago also, and he is a must have to keep one's car running.

They immediately responded after receiving the two core Abc struts and said it would be up to 14 days before reimbursement for core charge. They reimbursed core charges after about 10 business days 👍🏻

Thank you very much for responding, I was referring to it as a rodeo, but Google Translate played tricks on me. For the final calibration, just use xentry?
