Need this steering boot clamp

Can anyone help me where i can find this steering boot clamp for W163 ML. Purchased about 3 of them, all 3 were wrong, 2 of them were just regular hose clamp. one was way too big. Help Me to find OEM MB clamp, even would purchase a good used one as long as its not rusted. Thanks

You have 4 MLs, could you please tell us which one it is.

The photo of the clamp you posted, is that the one that was on the rack?

Indicate on the parts list where the clamp is.

Its for 04 ML500 W163 all W163 have the same one. On the diagram you sent, it is where 140 is on top to the left of the nut.

M/B does not sell that clamp separately. Must buy the repair kit.
