Need to change these on the front.

Should I purchase MB genuine ones, Euro car parts ones or is there any other companies that specialise in them and that you would reccomend?

Thanks

I'm only really here for the Kitchens

My brother used eurocarparts ones a few months ago and had no problems, it would probably take longer for issues to show up but they fitted fine at least.

OTTO Parts stock them. Not expensive and make a big different. When you have the old one's removed inspect the inside of the shock towers for rust. You may need to clean, treat and paint - well worth doing.

Nice one John, must give them a shout in Galway. Il compare MB and their prices before ordering (just for the fun lol!)

I just changed my near side one, GSF car parts do them for something like 15.50 (might be plus vat) but we get 10% discount here at mercedes190.co.uk =)

GSF ones are decent too, Ive used them before. They have a quick postage service too in Ireland, €15~ no matter how big or small and next day.. Though it'd be pricey if you are only buying the top mounts!
