Urgent Work Needed

Im hearing a slight louder rotation noise at my supercharger pulley, Which is why I plan on ordering a new supercharger Pulley Bearing $50 .

Front and Rear shocks $400 need to be replaced. Are These Legit ?? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-W203-W209-C32-Set-of-2-Front-and-Rear-Shocks-and-Struts-BILSTEIN-/351557239091?fits=Model%3AC32+AMG&hash=item51da71c 133:g:~aEAAOSw0hlZKR2V&vxp=mtr

Control Arms & I still haven't gotten to Vacuum Leak Yet. Haven't drove car in a few weeks, slightly higher idle around 700-1000 RMPS due to the vacuum leak.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/112282286566 or https://www.ebay.com/itm/122327600559 these are cheaper priced bearings and you can diy install these using the e55 how to video on YouTube ( I think)

Rear shocks: https://www.ebay.com/itm/292271398876 or https://www.ebay.com/itm/191821604476 or https://www.ebay.com/itm/351557239091 (just realized I posted the exact same Bilstein set but you posted 400 and I see them at 359...)

if I can search cheaper prices for the other parts I'll post them

Thanks a lot, Man your a life savor lol. I ordered the Struts and Bearing , Now Im looking for OEM front control arm/ball joint . Sound Like I'm doing a lot, but i rather get these things fixed now and out the way then to let them go on and cause more or even worse damage.

Ok guys, so Vacuum Leak is now Fixed, and boy did it work wonders. Before I was getting rough shifts, High Idles,and Sluggish Acceleration, and heard "Hissssssssss" sound coming from Near Supercharger area. Dropped off Car to local shop Bavarian Motors and they ran a Smoke Test and Fixed my leak in about hour in a half.

Solution/Turns outs, “Performed Smoke Test, Found Leak Under Throttle Body. Remove Rear intake Plenum. Found Breather Hose NOT installed properly. Reinstalled Breather Hose and Smoke Test again. No Leaks Found at this time. If hose is found to be loose again, recommend replace all breather hose” Euro Specialist stated that either someone installed it incorrectly, or the pressure from the supercharger caused it to come off, not sure. ---$146.25

Car now runs beautiful, SC Pulley Bearing doesn't even sound loud anymore and maybe not in need of replacement but i already ordered a NSK Pulley bearing. Now I received a email later on that day from the seller stating that he miscounted by 1 and were sold out of NSK brand but instead offered to send me NACHI brand. He claims that the NACHI brand is actually a more expensive and arguably better quality bearing, however i'm not for certain on this.

I'd have no issue with a NACHI bearing...good stuff. The supercharger pulley is easy to remove and swap should the bearing go out again in a few years.

While you are messing around with the pulley...change the supercharger oil. It is a special synthetic oil intended for jet engines. Mobil 1 Jet 2 (or Jet II).
You only need about 200cc of the oil, not a whole quart. I can sell you 200cc if you are interested, as I have a bunch left over from my swaps.
You will need a syringe with 6" hose, and 5mm BALL END Allen wrench (important). Will be good for another 15 years.
