2003 cl55 amg a while back- yes there are issues on all springs - they need replacing.

Look up mercedes forums for info etc.

Gooch did you every purchase springs? Rakesh it has the ABC light on, guy mentioned it could be a leak or replacement of arm which he's got priced up at £250 but few peeps on the merc forum have mentioned could run into the £000's, quite loose answers though so I wanted some advice

 The S class suffers from the same problem. I once bought a 'cheap' S600 which was not such a bargain after having to spend £2800 to sort out the suspension.

Yes I did, not new ones, And reset the light!, the arms were not the problem on mine.

Every car has it's own issues.
