R230 ABC Rear Strut Rebuild Kit
Restore Rear Suspension Performance
The rear Active Body Control struts on the R230 are critical to maintaining proper ride height, damping balance, and overall system stability.
With age, rear components commonly suffer from:
-
Degraded dust covers
-
Worn rubber bushings
-
Hydraulic seal aging
-
External fluid seepage
-
Increased ride harshness
Replacement of rear ABC struts can easily exceed €2,000 for the pair.
This rebuild system provides a structured restoration alternative.
