For all you DIY's, I am looking to replace shocks on my '95 SL500 w/105K miles. What brands would you suggest and is it easier to replace entire shock/strut assembly and do you have to replace the strut mount (at the top of the strut) in the process. I haven't had a Benz before and not sure how to do myself. Thanks, Steve

Unless they are leaking, you are wasting you time and money replacing them.
