I’ve done this a few times and it’s not required

One of teh reasons why I bought a W126 parts car was to get another pair of these struts. I finally got rid of the car last week, and the struts are now in my box of spares. If I have an issue with one of my SLS equipped cars, I can send off one of my spare pairs to be rebuilt.

Yes a LHD 220 is not worth all that much money even restored. These are lovely cars but hard to justify a restoration.
