Hi Bob,

Just found this article, which is perfect as I've just collected a new strut mount for my W124 200TE. Mechanic friends have gasped with horror when I suggested I was going to do the job myself, but having had a good look around 'under there', your advice confirms my own findings. I'd guess their (perfectly valid) concerns would apply if the spring/shock was a single unit, but in this case it should be pretty straightforward.

I'll let you know how I get on.

Regards,

Creamy
