Core exchange means that you get rebuilt parts from Top Hydraulics" inventory first, and then you send back your original parts for a refund of your core deposit of $200. For a full core refund, cylinders must be in good condition except for leaking seals.
Rebuild service includes upgrade of internal seals, relay replacement, service of filters, service of pump gears, service of electric motor, service of solenoid where applicable, and replacement of pump gears and/or electric motor and/or solenoid if necessary. Extensive bench testing ensures your pump exceeds OEM factory specs before we ship the pump back to you. This includes pressure test, flow test, and extended load test.
If you select optional core exchange, please note: The pump ships with reservoir filler cap or vent (as applicable to the model number), with mounting frame, and with relay. There are several versions of hydraulic pumps for the R129 SL-Class, and they are generally not compatible with each other. Please verify the part number on your pump, such as 129 800 00 48, 129 800 07 48, 129 800 14 48, or similar. Top Hydraulics will ship your pump once you have given us your original pump"s part number. The core refund will be reduced or retained if there are parts missing, or if there is significant damage from abuse on the core, such as results from DIY repair attempts or severe corrosion.
Strutmasters 2003-2006 Mercedes-Benz SL500 Four Wheel Active Hydraulic Suspension To Passive Suspension Conversion System is the perfect solution to your expensive and complicated suspension problems. Designed to be very affordable, you can convert your ENTIRE electronically-controlled hydraulic suspension to use passive struts and coil springs for less than the price of replacing ONE Original Equipment strut at the dealer.
2002 Mercedes Benz SL500, 2003 Mercedes Benz SL500, 2004 Mercedes Benz SL500, 2005 Mercedes SL500, 2006 Mercedes Benz SL500, 2007 Mercedes Benz SL500, 2008 Mercedes Benz SL 500, 2009 Mercedes Benz SL500, 2010 Mercedes Benz SL500, 2011 Mercedes Benz SL500, 2012 Mercedes Benz SL500
2003-2006 Mercedes SL500 Active Hydraulic Struts (x4) - A long tube (similar to a shock absorber) that fills with hydraulic fluid forced in at varying rates of pressure determined by sensors on the vehicle. The strut is the resting place for a steel coil spring, which works to help support the weight of the vehicle. The struts are known as "active" because they can be adjusted hundreds of times a minute electronically. Much like a shock absorber, the strut dampens vibration and bouncing caused by travel on rough road surfaces.
2003-2006 Mercedes SL500 Height Sensors (x4) - A linkage located near each wheel of a vehicle that electronically measures the height of the vehicle, and reports this information back to the control module so that the computer can identify if changes in height need to be adjusted accordingly. The ride height sensor is a moving part, and like all moving parts, they will eventually wear out.
2003-2006 Mercedes SL500 Hydraulic Pump - A mechanical pump that delivers hydraulic fluid throughout the system at a high rate of pressure. On many models, the pump may have a second reservoir that works to deliver power steering to the vehicle. The pump can fail due to normal wear and tear OR it can burn up due to low fluid level caused by leaks in the suspension system.
2003-2006 Mercedes SL500 Suspension Control Module - A computer that is responsible for the operation of the active suspension system and maintaining the vehicle"s correct ride height.
2003-2006 Mercedes SL500 Rubber O-rings - Although they are the least expensive part of the air suspension, they are responsible for maintaining the seal where all of the hydraulic lines connect. Be sure to replace the O-rings when repairing any active suspension system.
A sudden loss of three to five inches of ride height on any or all of the four wheels is the most obvious sign of a problem on the 2003-2006 Mercedes-Benz SL500. Early detection of a bad suspension is the key to avoiding total failure. Check for hydraulic fluid leaking from the struts, lines, connection points or the pump itself. If the fluid level gets too low, it can burn out the pump and lead to a widespread failure of the system. A sudden loss of power steering and you"ll know the pump has most likely failed. A suspension warning light, at times accompanied by a chiming noise, is another sign of trouble. And because this system is so complicated, replacing just ONE part will seldom solve the problem. Many experienced technicians will recommend replacing ALL of the major components of the factory suspension to have a high rate of success. This type of complete repair can be in the neighborhood of $9,000 to $11,000!
The SL500 active hydraulic suspension is one of the most complicated and expensive suspensions ever offered in a vehicle sold in North America. The Strutmasters suspension conversion system allows SL500 owners the ability to bypass all the electronics and eliminate the headaches caused by the factory suspension system once and for all. The Strutmasters kit uses variable-rate coil springs that deliver great ride quality and eliminate the need to purchase "anti-sway" bars that can take up to 15 labor hours to install with other products on the market. Designed and assembled by hand in small batches in the USA, this kit comes complete with one custom-designed suspension light fix module and four completely pre-assembled coilover struts. Customers appreciate our detailed instructions and online installation videos to assist with their repair. If further help is needed, Strutmasters" technicians are available to answer any questions. If that isn"t enough, the quality parts are backed by our 1-year warranty. Compared to direct replacement at the dealership and individual part replacement, this kit can save SL500 vehicle owners up to $7000 in parts and labor costs.
This kit is awesome and was pretty easy to install. It comes with everything you need and the support from Strutmasters is second to none. This was something I should have done a long time ago when my first hydraulic strut went out and it cost me just as much as the entire conversion kit to replace. BTW, my SL500 rides much better with the Strutmaster system.
I replaced my Mercedes SL500 ABC system with Strutmasters [cost $3000 labor and Strutmaster Springs] instead of replacing only two rear rebuilt units @ $4000. Car rides as well, if not better than the original ABC system.
The module and bypass hose is a big plus in the kit eliminating all that hydraulics and warning lights. I can honestly say the ride is equal to the Mercedes system I don’t see a difference I’m happy with the suspension thank you
you probably have a leak for sure , the pump has a screw about half way up the reservoir and you need zf grade oil from Mercedes Benz or factory recommended brand like Fuchs also a syringe with a long tube and fill it to line and operate it a few times and make sure the air is all out,no bubbles ,try to repair it soon as possible the pump will fail if to much air is getting in
