Thanks but that site only sells COs, I'm not interested in COs. Right now I just need to find something that would fit, work good, and doesn't have an OEM price.
So isn't there anybody out there in the world of benz that swapped out there OE struts for better and or cheaper aftermarket struts?????
I need part#s for struts that acutely fit.

This is crazy n frustrating, it's over a month now and I can't get the right struts that acutely fit my 4matic......
All my orders show the right part# or pic online but when they get here and I open the box it's all wrong.
Doesn't anyone have a specific part# that they themselves knows it fits????
I've even called up one manufacturer and I was told they DON'T make any struts to fit my car but on the site shows 3 different models that fit my car, I've ordered all and all where wrong.
Some ppl say get KYB, but which ones, what's the part#???? On their site they only show COs that fit my car.

sorry to bring back an old thread....
The wagon and the sedan's have different part numbers for the shocks and struts. Does anyone know if the sedan ones will work on a wagon? All the ones I find are part numbered for the sedan
Here are the wagon part numbers
FL 203 320 59 30
FR 203 320 60 30
R 203 326 37 00 (both sides)
Here are the sedan part numbers
FL 203 320 57 30
FR 203 320 58 30
R 203 326 07 00

I replaced the front (and rear.. those where easy) on my 2005 RWD.
Do check this: On the front struts there is a tiny nut at the top that needs a special tool to remove and assemble. Well assemble only, since the nut gets so corroded that it is impossible to remove. This means that you cannot disassemble the strut/coil spring/mount assembly without cutting the shock shaft or the top of the strut mount with a hack saw. So, if this is similar in the 4 matic, then plan on getting new strut mounts and springs, or at least new mounts if you plan on cutting them with a hack saw to salvage the spring. I ended up cutting, but in the end I just got new springs too.
I looked at RM European and they only have OEM front struts for 4 matic.
You can only get the tiny nut from your dealer. they are cheap and easy to strip so get extras.

i have a c240 4matic wagon and need the front struts replaced and wanted to double check if the Wagon and Sedan part numbers (4matc) are different or not?
When i check genuinemercedesparts.com it shows both part numbers for Sedan Front Right 203 320 58 30 and Wagon Front Right 03 320 60 30 are compatible..... price is the same, so whats the difference???
Thanks in advance for any input....
