Rear axle guides OE parts not found in EPC
Hello again. I ordered new rear axle guides from IM Axle Specialists.
What arrived here have these OE numbers: R1683522605 and R16835222405.
I can't even find any of these parts on EPC.
EPC lists for my car the OEs A1683503506 and A1683503606.
Does anyone have a clue? It's strange the number starts with R and not with A to begin with.
I don't want to spend to get these fitted only to find out they are not ok.

Out Of Control!!
If you ordered the correct parts based on sending the MB part number---the supplier should send their equivalent ,therefore WTF do we know--call your supplier---wada they say!
Now if you said send me the cheapest crap you got---maybe you got just that!

Wow, you are a part guru. I found out that the OE on the guide is not of the part but the assembly (guide + drum + abs sensor), hence these are correct axles.
