How I saved my Mercedes-Benz CL500 from the tip!

After tallying the cost estimate to repair my 2003 Mercedes-Benz CL500, the advice from the mechanic was to sell the car even if I made a loss on it. The estimate was based on OEM parts. In this video I saved myself thousands by doing my own `leg work'.

Don't forget after installation of the new struts extra steps are needed to fill and then bleed the air out of the line. An SDS system is needed to recalibrate ride height so hope this other shop you are working with are knowledgeable on Mercedes.

Thanks for the heads up. A friend who has a Mercedes shop reminded me of this yesterday, in fact.
