think twice fit

although Amazon Auto "fits". You are not. Just go to your local auto shop, save yourself the headache of trying to see if they fit.

Pros

Cons
  • unreliable

The price is great too

Replaced the original front shock absorbers on my '79 Mercedes 300sd with 290k and they improved the drivability significantly. Excellent price. I ordered two for the back. hope they hold up. I will update if necessary

Pros
  • Pleasing
Cons
  • Updates

Wrong form factor for my 1987 190E 2.3.

Ordered for my 190E 2.3. This is the wrong shock design and they will not fit. The image differs from the actual product, and the image also does not match the design of my machine. They also came in two different colors, which I find unacceptable. For example, wear two different colored socks.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Only available in white

Good in the front, not so good in the back.

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 tires for the rear if you have a car of this style and want a firmer ride than the original.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Good but not great

Light, inexpensive and a big improvement in ride and handling!

I installed them about a month ago and absolutely loved how they made my car drive and steer. They were very easy to install and I made $1.30 by removing the back seat to access the upper rear strut nut. (No sarcasm - I actually had to do this and it wasn't that bad. One thing I learned is that once tightened, you need to re-tighten the top nuts when the car is on level ground. Installation just took time about an hour..or so...and for the price it's worth it!I'm not sure how long they will…

Pros
  • Beautiful
Cons
