V6 control arms

Hello,

I am about to install a set of coil overs on my sons 2006 e500. I understand we need to swap the rear control arms to the v6/non-air ride version. I was looking to buy used but cannot find both sides on Ebay. Any other ideas? TIA, Mike

How much are they worth for you?
My local junk yard has 2003 model on the lot. I can go over and pull them for you.
Picture or drawing of needed part would help.

Here is the EPC drawing showing both version of arms.
Officially it is called guide.
You might want the covers as well?

Thanks and sorry for the delay in responding. I have heard the pair go for about $150 used/shipped? I believe I need the version on the left, to allow for the coils, correct? And where are you located?

So between $80 for arm, or $200 for whole suspension you do have choices.
Let me know if you know other parts.
W211 come to the age when they show on pick&pull, so I can get those parts pretty cheap.
Our Bluetec shows driver seat wear, just pulled identical cover from passenger seat on JY for $8.
Bad part without option to move the seat took over 1 hr to get it out.
