OK.
Get an eyeball on the mounts. You may see more compression of the left/portside mount, than the right/starboard one.
Although difficult to describe, the car (99 E300) evidenced a 'moaning or groaning' sound when starting out in a low-speed hard right turn out of my driveway. That was the evidence that the left/portside was particularly compressed.
Here too, I would not try to save a buck by buying a cheaper, aftermarket branding set of mounts, other than prescribed by MB.
