129 Adjustable Dampers
I run a 1990 500SL R129 Euro-spec with factory original ADS (adjustable ride height and damper firmness) and ASR (traction control). Recently the rear right side is making a loud creaking noise at low speed. The right rear tire has also worn excessively (but evenly) compared to the left rear. I guess I've burst a damper, although there is nothing unusual in the handling. If this is a correct diagnosis, should I go to a main dealer for repairs given the complexity of the system?? Any advice appreciated.

Further developments. I called in to a main dealer who had a look on the ramp. They tell me I've bent one of the suspension arms and that as a result two arms are rubbing off each other and an hydraulic pipe is rubbing against the body. Haven't seen it for myself yet. Also they are not interested in doing the repairs. "Our guys are too young, they wouldn't know anything about a 1990. You should go to an independent specialist".
