Some contacted me by facebook groups , that got this stuff and used. One had changed struits in front, but not in back, after add the stuff ,car went into balance very qickly. also when parked has the right height now.

here is the short version what he say .

Hi mate, Tai from SL55 AMG forum and just added the Full Throttle multi sealer into the abc tank yesterday, and went for a spirited drive...must say the car felt great!Can feel the difference after pouring it in Car seems to be more level now ,.Fantastic. Before this, the rear may not be balance in terms of height when parked. ,.rear may be higher on one side ,and lower than the other. .Ride height all good now. Plan to add more into my other cars too. Have a 2008 Cayenne GTS which drinks a lot of engine oil
.Thinking of adding the same. Thanks so much to you buddy, for the advice and recommendation.

As someone who is generally skeptical about fix-in-a-bottle products, I was open to researching this one a bit more carefully.

At its core, an ABC suspension is a high-pressure hydraulic system and such systems are commonly found in industrial applications, which is the market that QMI appears to mainly serve.

Now let's look at what this product claims to do, which is gently recondition seals and restore some life back into them. Nothing far-fetched and yet addressing a small item that can, when failed, cause a big issue.

That said, I'm not ready to treat a healthy system with this product just yet. However, as mentioned in the other thread, I have a PS pump that is starting to complain (and with a mild leak) on one vehicle and a RMS that I suspect is letting a couple drops of oil get by on another vehicle. Since I'm facing eventual replacement in both cases, nothing to lose here.

If this product hopefully does for me what it claims to, I will then proceed to treat other systems w/o issues (knock on wood) with this as a preventive measure.

If you think about it, how optimal is O rings and seals after 13 to 18 years in anything that related to heat and oil ? I am member many forums FB, and every day,i read about some guy that has broken hose, leaking struits ,it goes on and on . My old car even had leak 2009, and its 2004 model, but that one had lived in Italy, hot summers, make it even worse.

What supriced me also, was when added lqseal to engine that used a liter /Q between oil changes after i Teflon treated engine 2015. Now i driven around 10 000 km and 19 month sinse oil change, and not filled oil at all, it just say oil level ok, last weekend i even measured with dipstick, and it showed full on that stick. And some/ many AMG guys that has not done anything what i have done, have filled 4 q or more in same drive distance and time.

Then we the new thing , too add **** to everything, is the roof sylinders because of age, and dryed o ring will be going leaking left and right. and wining all over internet. Seen cars 2004, my frends car is 2004 always been in garage, did front sylinder 2 years allready.
