Different rear dampers for AMG vs non AMG C-Class?
I recently got my rear shocks replaced under warranty at my dealership along with some front end warranty work. The ride is beginning to feel a little mushy. I'm wondering if there is a difference between AMG rear shocks and non-AMG rear shocks? Anybody got a part # so I can check to see if they just put standard C-Class shocks on my C32? Thanks!

Thought so. Like I said, my ride in the back is feeling a lot less stiffer than I'm used to. I've been searching here and other places trying to find the part# for the shocks meant for our C32's so I can check against the part# on my campaign service report. No luck so far,... and I'd like to answer that question before confronting the dealer. I'd like to spare myself any embarrasement if possible.
I went out a little while ago and stuck my head under the rear and they're stamped with H16. Does this mean anything to the informed in here?
