you can call mymercedesparts, theyre an actual dealer from ATL so they'll have the correct part. If you need a sport sway bar endlink I might still have mine from when I did my c/o install. I'll have to check it out tomorrow in my shed to see if I do but I most likely have it.

i guess you didnt look hard enough because rmeuropean does sell them. its towards the bottom of the end links.

heres the OEM which is 42

http://www.rmeuropean.com/Part-Numbe..._2CB14693.aspx

getmercedesparts.com is an actual dealer in Maryland.
parts.com is less expensive but charges outrageous shipping and doesn't actually sell parts, just brokers the deal. They also do not guarantee the prices.
So I prefer getmercedesparts.com


Set up a free EPC account and look up your part numbers and exploded diagrams.

I buy mostly from PartsGeek.com and RMEuropean, then RockAuto.

Bought once from Parts.com, wasn't impressed and probably won't buy from them again.

Maybe you couldn't find them because you were searching with the keyword "end link"? I've never heard them called that.

Fyi on these sway bar links make sure you differentiate 203-320-29-89 (sport) from 203-320-28-89 (non-sport) ... I think the sport version is a bit shorter and has larger bolt size.

I'm looking to find c32 or c55 springs, parts.com has c55 spring pn 2033217004 but no c32. I can't find any springs for sale elsewhere, any suggestions?

Look at your VIN number ... it's on a tag at the bottom of the drivers side of the windshield, can be seen from outside the car. The letter should be the 7th digit from the end of your VIN.

These guys are the local dealer near my work. I have gotten parts from them and from getmercedesparts.com and had good luck with them both.

If you put the effort into knowing your dealers parts people, and ask, you can probably get wholesale prices from them, which will be just a bit more than the online pricing typically, but the relationship with them can be very helpful, especially if you are looking for getting something odd or doing an interesting mod or retrofit.

i prefer mymercedesparts over rmeuropean now because they usually have the parts I need and they have the diagrams to know the parts and reference # so you know youre getting the right part.
