Shocks and Springs For 2001 E55
My independent repair shop just replaced the shocks and front springs on my 2001 E55. I checked part numbers afterward to make sure they were the right ones for an E55. The front shocks are 24-062046 and the rears are 24-021579. Some websearching revealed these to be Bilstein numbers. The Bilstein US site (online catalog part) shows the same for the front shocks but specifies 24-062053 for the rears. The rears that they put in and the Bilstein specified shocks are both 36mm monotubes and from the B8 (SP) series. Should I be worried about this or are they really the same shock for all practical purposes?
The front springs they put in are 2103212104. My websearching showed that many spring numbers are shown for my car, that one included. I'm really surprised that it's not just one spring per model. My chassis code is 210.074.
