This has been discussed on other forums. Your options are a remanufactured one from China on Ebay for $250, which might be fine, but maybe not. There's a guy in Florida who rebuilds your unit for about $500--RMT, Repair Master Tech. Or, probably the best option of the three is a place in Germany that specializes in ABC systems...https://abcteile24.de/en/

Considering how hard the rear ones are to remove, I'd personally recommend one from MB or the Germany shop. It is a job you don't want to have to do twice. I've bought Chinese ones for the front, but wiling to take a gamble on those since they are significantly easier to remove. The rears I'll do my suggestion for you. I've noticed shocks from MB have been in and out of stock at various times.
