Strut Assembly
I have an 2005 CLK320 that I can't find a strut assembly for, I've looked everywhere. Despite of that, there is a strut assembly for the 2005 CLK500. I was wondering if the struts for the 500 will fit on the 320.

1. Why are you looking for strut assemblies ? You don't want to deal with installing springs? Usually most of indy shops will be able to assemble/disassemble struts for a small fee.
2. Be aware that there is two types of from struts: for "sport suspension" and for "non-sport suspension". The difference between them is a hole size for sway bar links. 12mm and 10mm accordingly. I can tell you which one you need by using for example this resource https://www.lastvin.com/. But I think all clk500 for US marked have sport suspension.

clk500 struts
I just purchased a '05 clk500, for my wife, that is very well optioned including #486 sport suspension.
FCP Euro, Parts Geek, Rock Auto, Tire Rack and others make special note these are not for "sport suspension". I'm wondering if this is accurate. I have NOT found any struts for a "sport suspension" version.
What is the difference between a regular version and a "sport suspension" option car, if any?
Lastly, if in fact they are different, where can you purchase the correct struts/shocks?
Thanks a ton, Scott
