My Clk430 is in the shop right now getting alot of work done. My mechanic told me i will need axles, as my seals blew and i was running the diff dry, unbeknownst to me. in the process of getting axles i came across a used axle from a 2003 clk430 convertible. The seller does not know if it will fit. any input on this? i need my car out of the shop asap because it will end up costing me more. But these axles are the only thing holding me up.
In case any of you were wondering i am replacing all seals on the rear end and freshening things up as well as getting a proper alignment now that i have Kmacs front and rear.

I don't know of any differences between the rear axels between a 430 coupe, and convertible... I would visit autohausAZ and look up the part numbers between the two. I think you will find they are the same.

I believe they are the same? Is it the same year as yours as I believe there was some change. Although the 03 clk 430 cab is still a W208. something with the c clips

The 320 and 430 use the same axle shafts - part number 208-350-05-10.
