I have the same issue both truck arm had some kind of metal fatigue that detached the springs. I have looked and looked with no success, even in junkers. The MB dealer wants around $99.00 each. So if I can't find them I guess I will have to get ripped of by my MB dealers.
Note apart: It happend to me also with the side mirrors. The spring broke the metal holding it to the car body and the dealer want to sell me the entire mirror system for both sides over $700.00 (crazy)!!! All of this happend in a period less that a month. Looks like the life of the metal was due..ODD!!!!

Let me know if you had any luck?
