And parts prices vary wildly as well. Going to the dealer results in an extremely high price, and a wait of 4-6 weeks because it comes from Germany. Shopping begins with identifying the part numbers and then not only comparing prices, but shipping. I needed two shock towers for a W460. A known design flaw, they rust out. US$213 all up, parts and shipping. A4603201678 and A4603201778 are the part numbers. I found Mercteil in Latvia to be best price including shipping. €64 each side, plus reasonable shipping. And they arrived within two weeks. Mercteil.com As you can see, they have the original MB labels on them, so I recommend Mercteil for those who find the international shipping costs to be too high. See www.mercteil.com Now, when the weather gets better (it's winter down under), I'll spend a day with the grinder and then a date with my welder, bouncing shock-less to his shop.
