Is SLS best avoided on an old 190?

[MichaelMB]

<div class="bbWrapper">I have been offered a 190 that is described as needing minor TLC and has working rear SLS &quot; now that the pump has been rebuilt&quot;. Is SLS an ongoing nightmare on the W201 or a wonderful thing to have?<br /> I never have rear passengers and have a more suitable vehicle for carrying heavy loads so wouldn't actively seek SLS.</div>

Also, those older 201s and 124s are very fixable unless rust has taken hold. Assuming you can find the parts.<br /> <br /> R</div>
