That's a 4matic strut mount. Do you have a 4matic?

I don't know what parts you should replace. What problem are you trying to fix?

I have a 2005 M.B. C240 4MATIC.
​​​​​​I replaced the sway bar link but I'm still getting a bumpy strange dong noise when entering a driveway coming from the front drivers side. In addition I decided to order a lower control arm but the arm I received was a single arm with a bushing on one end and a ball joint on the other. My c240 has a wishbone looking lower control arm with ball joint connection. It's shaped like a triangle with two bushing hookups on one end and lower balljoint on the other. There are no "single" upper and lower control arms... Confusing...
