W220 S430 Rear Struts
Help All,
There are so many posts on opinions of what brand to use to replace these but does anyone know if the OEM rear struts are even made/available anymore? I replaced them with Suncore which was the worst mistake because both of them are rattling like crazy after 6 months. Would like to replace them with OEM. Does anyone know where to find them - I’m in the US
Also, are Arnott struts worth it - so many mixed reviews?
thank you!

i think i will just keep buying the ebay ones, dang price, i have had luck with my S class feels plus but rears have to be done. on my GL the airmatic shocks from ebay are embarrasing, cold makes them rattle but atleast they keep car upright and on highway it rocks
about 200-400 fronts or rears each
