Hydraulic shock leak

Shock leaking at driver rear and system has been disabled at the leveler, part missing is the other side of the eye bolt. The feed back so for from other forums are that the dissimiliar metals mb used on the line junction makes a hard repair due to lines not wanting to release from the female junction block,rare aluminium part,its this and a few other details that have me concerned doing a repair of this magnitude. #1 The system , after fixed, will i have other leaks elsewhere, #2 age of car, is it worth its value to fix ,#3 cost in general to do it right is up in the $1300-$1600 range , replacing many parts.
A KIT OF THIS TYPE IS NEEDED FOR THESE OLDER MODELS
Knowing its great features, when working properly, may tend to stear some MB owners to do the repair ,but for those who just want an already dependable vehicle on the road again ,we need another option.
