The 1986-87 560SEL had torque compensating rear brakes. SO the calipers on the rear pivot as the braking force changes. THAT allows for better rear braking under HIGH speed stopping (AUTOBAHN). MB first used that system on the 450SEL 6.9. VERY $$$$ to make as the lower control arms are "light" alloy instead of stamped steel. The 560SL also used that system.
That repair on the rear should take 4-6 hrs.
