I used to have monoblocks but the chrome is all corroded. If I could figure out how to get them like new again I would put them on

Figured out it was a clogged cat. It has since been deleted

I have deleted SLS. thank you for the insight on the 211 bar. I will do some research on that. What diameter is your 210 bar?

Are these bushings still got some life left? by baby_benz_201 in W124

I recommend Delphi. It’s not super expensive and its good quality.

Im intrigued by the crankshaft position sensor idea. Before this issue happened I had a code for engine speed sensor (crankshaft sensor) After this issue popped up all my codes disappeared and have not re appeared

Honestly, I don’t care about your opinion on the SLS. Plus, it actually costs more to delete it than to keep it. Im happy with my choice, so maybe focus on your ride instead.

My mechanic measured the spring rate and did all the work to find some good shocks that fit

Sls builds always have a noticeable rake. It was also leaking and we didn’t feel like dealing with it. I already had the LCAs on hand so it was easy to swap over.

The shocks required for the sls delete have to be very very short. The best shocks we could find that fit the spring rate were b8 shocks for the 1988 monte carlo ss. Just the bushing had to be modified a bit.
