It doesn't sound like a cut and dried works or doesn't issue for any of these fixes. Put it this way... when I got my wagon people started the "oooh SLS badbadjuju" stuff on me so I researched the thing.

I decided to start accumulating (no pun intended) used SLS replacement parts. I just don't see ringing endorsements from anyone except the guys who are promoting the fixes....
Really?
I find it amazing you are not getting ringing endorsements from everybody that has a working SLS... it's simply the most amazing feature in ANY car or truck I've ever driven, and that's saying something...
I've put over 1500lbs in my 79 wagon, and the vehicle rode perfectly level, and without sway. I was worried about my tires with that much load, but it handled it perfectly.
every wagon I have the SLS is the first thing I tackle to make sure it's working. and it's usually very simple to repair.
