You'll find Star Motors in NY.  Neil is the only guy I can think of that would have the part sitting on the shelf.

Time (for me) finally to figure out how to search history around here. 

Found this about seal kits...

This one that started ages ago and was relatively recently updated

It has a link to an off-site page for the front strut rebuild...
https://forum.w116.org/mechanicals/6-9-hydraulic-strut-overhaul-take-2/

It also has contact info for several folks.

PS. there's a bad link regarding LAD_strut_rebuild (BMW) struts in there. Just google that to get the current incarnation of it.

Gents,

I am in a somewhat tricky situation. 

My 1980 6.9 is at the SoCal Mercedes workshop. 

They have suddenly verified that one of my rear suspension struts now have a shaft leak.

So since we are taking the 6.9 on a long time planned 14 day road trip to Vancouver Canada later this week, I urgently need one rear strut in working condition.

Anyone here that are able to help me out or can help with a lead to a working strut?

And who would you contact in California or nearby, to overhaul your leaking Mercedes 6.9 suspension strut? 

Any suggestions or recommendations?

All info and help much appreciated!

Thanks
