Spring Pad Pictures

I posted this message on the W210 forum, but no seems to have a picture. Does anyone here?

Per the W210 forum,

"I am looking for pictures of the spring pads. Searching this board, I have found very nice picures of the pad to identify the bumps while on the car. I found one with the spring compressed in the lower control arm that shows the top of the pad.

I am looking for a picture of the spring pad without the spring. Possibly the underside where the top of the coil seats into the pad. Does anyone have one?"


Thanks,

rob lee

i have some spring pads at home... given, i only have 2 sizes available to show you... but they are pads none the less.

they are w208 pads, but they are interchangable between the w210... i am actually using w210 pads in the front of my w208...

There is no such thing (OEM) as W208 (specific) shims. The shims for the W201, W202, W208, W210, and W124 are either W201 or W210 parts.

Here are some shims I have laying around, and a closeup of the inside of a W210 shim (as requested).

scorchie- You did it again! Thanks for the pictures. The close up is the exact view I was looking for. Wow! You sure have a collection of pads/shims!
