European cars could have the car ordered with all around hydraulic suspension, but US spec would only have rear.

On the 4 way system, the front pair would be under the left front fender, just in front of the wheel, from the diagrams that I've seen.

That being said, unless you managed to somehow get a gray market 560 (rare), you likely need the second part.


One of the prior threads I read on the subject suggests replacing both if you're going to replace at all. The reasoning given was that the other is likely at the point of failure, and you might as well put them back on an even footing all at once.
(It also removes the problem of poking inside with a probe to find the ruptured one, and dumping hydraulic fluid all over while doing so!)
