Replace power steering/ABC hydralic pump and pulsation damper. I understand this is a pretty common repair on the CL 500/55/600 series for all years and $2,400 at a private mechanic (non-dealership) is a fair price. The parts are $1,450 alone plus labor

Replaced CK shifter mechanism on automatic transmission because moving shift lever out of Park position was becoming difficult. Also had all 16 spark plug wires replaced to match the new plugs replaced at Schedule B maintence. Non-dealership repair.
