i drive them all, fast and hard
w220 s 500 suspension leak
sorry i meant to label this as w221
so i noticed my mothers 100000 miles 2010 s550 very slightly lower on the drivers left front side...she states while going over speed bumps or changes in pavement the up arrow car symbol shows up while driving
the car has never sat way down like the w220's used to do
the dealer says the front left is bad and needs to be replaced at 1800 parts labor but ofcourse recommends to do the right side and cmpressor for 4300 total for both side and pump...
is this one of those just do it while we are there situations or something that might not have issues with in future and may just be for dealer service sales...
i knwo the 220's were always bad with their shocks but arent the 221's supposed tobe a bit better..
thanks
