your car has spring and shocks front and rear correct??

it does not have struts...or does it??

been years since we have done an old benz
Shocks and springs front and rear (double wishbone in the front, some weird IRS diagonal pivot axle that is a unique to MB design in the rear). I don't know first hand, but I've been told that if you try to remove the control arm without compressing the spring you will end up with a broken hand and a hole in your floor (i.e. even with the car off the ground the springs are under considerable tension).
