Took my car to the dealer and they told me that I need new struts and something called a ABC pressure block. quoted me $ 5,200. Can someone tell me what the correct name and part numbers these items are listed as. I'm going to try and purchase them online and have a local mech. install them. (Does anyone know a good web site to order these parts or good mech. in the philly area?) Here is what I think the description name goes by:


ABC Strut Assembly ?
ABC pressure block?


Thanks

Find a "good mechanic" that specializes in Mercedes.

They may be able to source the parts for less.

If you go to a mechanic that doesn't regularly work on Mercedes, you'll be very sorry.

Here is the write up from Mercedes Benz Invoice:
68625 Test Drive Care. Found FRT Lower Ball Joints Loose. Found FRT Strut tops loose. Also found code in ABC system for low pressure. Top off level. Look for leaks. Found value block with pressure sensor leaking. perform rodio test to test pump output, ok at this time.

They want to replace both struts and value block for $ 5700. The reason I took the car in was because of a moaning noise I was hearing when I pushed down on the gas pedal almost like a loud reving noise, besides driving I could also hear this noise when the car was in Neutral. So I was confused about it being the struts becasue wasn't moving.
