I would have questions as to how they determined that your rear shocks were bad. Shocks are rarely replaced on MBs, they can often go for 200k and still work properly. If you want to be exact, check the part numbers on the front wheels and do an eBay search for them. Or, see if you can find a r

Yep I bought two scrapyard wheels for the old Focus when one of the originals got bent, and both of the used wheels were bent also, though not quite as badly. I had the tire shop determine which of the three was best and used that one. On Mon, Jul 24, 2023, at 11:20, dan penoff.com via Mercede
