W221 strut problem

I have a 07 S600 w/abc non amg with two bad struts front and rear both on driver side. I ordered an aftermarket strut from
arnott industries but it will not match up with the lower mount. Anyone else had this problem ? Trying to avoid having to buy two new struts from mercedes.

Did you order the right shock? Doesn't sound like it.

I looked them up and it looks like you have to take the bottom off yours and swap it. Didnt look right to me either and I just rebuilt my entire front end.

The S/CL 600 with abc have the same struts as AMG ones, at least that's what Arnott was telling me when I have ordered a left rear back one a couple of years back and they were absolutely right...I would call them again.
