Suspension Question

Does anyone know if the Shocks and Springs from a 02 clk55 are interchangeable with an 02 Clk430 Cab?

Thanks

There will be some problems due to the front of your cab is heavier than usual.
But a CLK55 to a CLK 430 Cab is the quistion..

I know because I bought my lowering kit from a guy who had a 220 Cab and he had problems front was way to low hitting the fenders, but on my CLK 320 fits like hand in a glove...

But I cant say it for sure, just be prepared might get you problems

I would check specs vs compared weight front load. I have to add the guy had stock rims 16 with very large tyres. Rubbing fenders when corning holes in the road... problem high speed you get a bouncing car J. Better check WIS to be sure mate or contact spring manufacturer they will be able to help you. Give part nr should be located in the springs, if can see it.

good luck mate

The shocks and springs are oem from a clk55.
The 430 cab is stock as well... so I do not for see any rubbing issues.

Thanks.. I hope someone can chime in.
