I can't remember if this part number was for the front or rear of my 1985 Mercedes 300D so I'll cover both here. The front wheels were great with good damping, good rebound and helped a lot with the car's handling. The rear shocks were a different story, they didn't handle the car's weight well so the rear of the car was still a little springy. I recommend getting "Heavy Duty" for the rear if you have a car of this style and want a firmer ride than the stock.
