Rear Shocks, where to buy

I just bought a 2006 R350. The rear shocks are SHOT. It does have air ride. Looks like the shocks are $500 each? Anyone know where to get em cheaper?

That is cheap for Airmatic. They must have lowered the cost b/c of all the complaints. They did that on a couple of other things as well, like the glow plug control module on the diesel.

Go for Arnott (just Google it) and you'll have it way cheaper

Good luck!

P.S. Did you mean air suspension springs or hydraulic shocks?

Here is a link to Arnott's Mercedes-Benz R-Class Air Suspension Parts. A pair of new rear springs is about $300 plus shipping.
