I saw this come up about a week ago and then it went away. Came back on this morning.

Is this a big problem.?
Can i DIY this?

 

Thanks for the reply.
Can someone please tell me what to do!!

 

You have self leveling suspension...it uses the same fluid as the steering rack.

I saw this message when a rear line to my SLS burst. At the same time the steering became incredibly stiff.

So, the problem could be with the steering or the SLS.

 

Take a look for leaks around the PS reservoir. If the leak is from the rear connection, it could just be an O-ring.

 

sorry for the late response.....2 full time jobs...smh
My rear suspension seems to be very bouncy too.
I appreciate all the help.

 

What kind of power steering fluid should i use?

 

The SLS uses a special fluid and a common reservoir for both the PS and rear suspension. The fluid part number is located on the reservoir cap. The reservoir is located on the left side of engine bay between the windshield washer fluid reservoir and the headlight.

As others have noted, it's important to find any leaks. Also, the failure of one of the accumulators will cause a sudden drop in fluid level with no evidence of a leak. This often results in a harsh ride.

 

I just need to know exactly what to get to put in it.

 

It says on the lid of the reservoir. Just go to an MB dealer.

 

Note that NAPA carries the PS fluid, manufactured by Febi.

 

Okay thanks.
Will this fix the bouncy suspension?

 

You may have solved this issue already but we carry fluid from Genuine Mercedes-Benz, Pentosin, Febi and Fuchs. You may review the fluids here.

I went to a Napa auto Parts and they punched up my vehicle and gave me this one. If this is the wrong one, what should i do?

 

That's the right stuff
