Aftermarket front shocks?

I'm hearing a "thunk" sound over small bumps from the left front, so I think the front left shock may be broken/leaking. Next month, I plan to go to an independent tire shop for NYS inspection so I'll have them check it out while it's on the lift.

In case I need a pair of new front shocks/struts, who makes the OEM ones for MB -- Boge, Bilstein, Koni?

Any other suggestions?

Go w/Bilstein B6 it will improve the way car handles, but you also may want to check your lower ball joint on that side.
