SL/R230: ABC SYSTEM OVERHALL
rather than replace with coilovers.
My good friend is a talented mechanic so parts/labor would be reasonable.
Would be for a 2005 SL65 AMG
Depending on mileage, the order of replacement seems to go accumulators, pump dampener, valve block rebuild, pump, hoses, struts. Not always though. It seems to be a constant “maintenance “ affair.
You might want to get all the parts you can from FCP Euro - they might not have the absolute cheapest prices you can find, but their prices are very good and they give you a lifetime warranty.
Rebuilt struts with a lifetime warranty are available from Arnott suspension, much cheaper than new.
