Has anyone replaced the rear shocks on a SL350 (R230)? If so, how much were the parts? Are there any other shocks available other than Mercedes ones?Are they any cheaper? Europarts only quote one at over £1100 !!!(not a pair)
 
If they are hydraulic shocks, then answer is no. I haven't been able to find any other supplier than dealer.
If somebody does know it would be useful.
When ever I've tried ECP for the merc hydraulic struts they tell us dealer only
 
With Mot looming, I had to bite the bullet and buy shocks from dealer (£375 all in) .That was the easy part-fitting was a different story. It took a friend and I almost 4.5 hours ( I was helping him ,not him helping me!) I reckon it would have been almost imposssible without a lift.
 
Your model doesn't have ABC then as originally suggested by first post.
Lucky escape
