Airmatic replacement

Hi, I own a 2010 E550 with over 100k miles on it. A few days back, I noticed anytime I drive on a rough and bumpy road I hear some noice coming from the front of the car. Took it to the an auto mechanic and he confirmed that the lower part of the front airmatic strut is bad and I'll need to replace both systems in front.
I need a good site where I can purchase genuine parts from.

Thanks.

P.S I don't live in the US

Every time, I've read about someone replacing airmatic parts. They always tend to mention "Arnott"

Thats true. But when I looked at Arnott's website they don't have the front Airmatic.

For OE I always had good pricing and excelent service from Husker.
Couple of times my parts had to come from Germany and the part person was emailing me right away about status.

What is exactly wrong? Maybe pics , if possible

there is nothing your mechanic could see , because you cant really see anything , unless you take out the air struts out , everything is inside the boot thats covering internal parts.
