SL500 R230
Wrong strut was installed on left side
Greetings:
When I purchased this car (2003 SL500/R230) at auction, the ABC white light frequently illuminates. I only recently discovered that the previous owner had put an Arnott SK-2412 on the left side instead of the SK-2413.
Will having the wrong shock on the left side cause the ABC lights to come on? I ask this since there is a difference in the part numbers, thus causing me to believe the sensors would be incorrect for the strut.
Any help on this issue?
Thanks for any guidance provided,.
