[EDIT 28-06-2024: As you would probably have noticed, during the rear wheel bearing replacement - the boots had cracks but were not leaking. Possibly premature cracks due to ride height (older springs were stiffer/larger) or due to inadequate quality of rubber/elastomer.]

This is my daily driver, with maintenance being done,
bit by bit, through a "rolling restoration" type approach.

This is part 1 of a multi series with almost all repairs,
projects and maintenance done through the couple of years
I've owned this vehicle. More is on the way!

I have studied a lot of Mercedes repair articles, manuals
and videos and not all procedures shown are performed in
their entirety.
Please only let this footage serve as
inspiration and entertainment and research the specific
instructions and torque values for your specific application.

I hope you enjoyed this video.
Please use due diligence - work at your own risk.
