Recommended Struts for 2001 E430?
Hello,
Basic question here, but I want to replace the tired struts on my old e430, non-4matic base. My local guy will do it, but they want me to source the parts. I don't want to change the ride height or ride characteristics. I want to keep it stock. Any recommendations on specific parts? Do I need any other components than what comes with the struts? Seems like Sachs or Bilstein are most recommended.
- thanks!

I think you just want shocks (not struts). You may be able to get an idea by trying https://mbparts.mbusa.com/class/e-class. Or, going to your MB dealer with your VIN in hand to ensure proper unit is identified for your model/year.
