1990 190E 2.6
how hard is it to replace the struts on a 190E? is this a simple task for someone with slightly lower than average skill or should i not even attempt it? what does it entail?
Thanks guys! |

I have replaced the front struts on my 190e 2.6 and w124 260e.
Its not a difficult job - you just need to be careful. The bolts holding the struts on to the brakes are difficult to undo without the car being raised high enough to get a good purchase. There is a DIY on this in that section. You don't need a spring compressor if you are careful. You need a hydraulic floor jack and some jack stands. When you replace the front struts replace the rubber mountings on the top also - they are relatively cheap. The rear struts are easy. |
