Parts Interchangeability Between Models
Does somebody know if the front struts from a C-class car will fit/work on a CLK car of the same year? I'm asking because my CLK 350 needs struts and I have a pair of new struts with springs from a C280 which I no longer own. Both cars are 2006 model year.

MB’s of all kinds.
Do you have the part numbers? I can check FCP Euro. However, I am going to assume no based on my quick search. While the W203/209 are nearly the same car there are some parts that are not interchangeable.

Ya I doubt they will have the same part numbers because the difference in how the two cars handle on the road is noticably different. My CLK feels like it floats around more than my C280 which had better feel for the road. I was curious if they can actually interchange physically. Do you think FCP Euro would know, if I contacted them?
