Hello all,
I am new to this forum.
My wife's 2011 ML350CDI 4Matic, Engine No: 64282041089139, Chassis No: WDC1641252A706188 is chewing through the inside of the front tyres (255/50 R19 Conti Crosscontact UHP).
The front ride height is roughly 30mm lower than the back and I assume this is the cause for the tyres wearing on the inside as no camber adjustment is possible.
Can anyone help me with what Coil springs will be best - the local MB dealership wants to charge a small fortune to replace the springs and they say they need to strip the springs out in order to find the colour code.
I at the same time want to replace the shocks (front and rear) with heavier duty shocks, Bilstein B6 seems to be the way to go from my reading.
Thanks in advance!

 

Find a reputable indy shop and buy the parts from FCPEuro.

 

Thank you for the advice!
I have a really good indy mechanic (ex head mechanic at a big dealership).
The problem with importing from Europe is the duties almost double the cost of the parts...

 

FCP Euro are US based. Look at Rock Auto as well. FCP usually stock better quality spares.

 

Also, Importpasrtdiect and eEuroparts for price comparison.

 

I just did this work, not for the light weight mechanic... I loaned the spring compressor from Autozone and got the parts from FCP Euro.

My rear springs were broken in two places!
