You would be better off getting a set of PNP shocks. think they are like $9.

Clicked on the model, and the drop down box looks like chicken scratch. I clicked on one of them and it says "sorry, you query the content does not exist".

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works

The trouble is, Charlie, you don't speak chicken scratch I got the same thing but try the model dropdown again after getting the content does not exist warning and there'll be a cusory listing of MB models. It works with any chicken scratch selection.

FWIW, I suspect the foreign language text in restaurant menus tells those who speak the language what to avoid. "We found rodent droppings in the marinade but the locals don't seem to mind."

6-12 months? Dave, you're such an optimist!

Rodent droppings.... Sen sen.... Rings a bell. I think I sense a long dormant neuron firing.... Anyone here old enough to remember these? They sort of look like rodent droppings: Sen-Sen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yes, Sensen ....

No info about Sensen, but when the front shocks on my 114 went, I decided to go cheap. I bought some Monroe shocks locally for like $14 each. They were a massive improvement over the completely blown old shocks and lasted the rest of the time I owned that car. Not sure how far I drove it in that time, since the odometer only worked when it wanted to.

I have the Bilstein HD's, swapped them out for the MUCH worse standard Bilstein OEM's. I don't like the way the car rides with either of those shocks. I have a 1991 300d, and my 1988 300CE rode much, much better; a real champ of a nice ride. Someone told me that Mercedes changed the ride in 1990 or 1991 due to complaints from Americans prior to that! I don't know if that's true, but that's what I was told by a MB mechanic.

1991 300d

Ride quality better/worse is extremely subjective. Europeans generally prefer a more controlled (i.e, "firm") ride so the car behaves itself at 130-150mph on the Autobahn. Meanwhile, most Americans trading up from Cadillacs don't want to feel the road at all, and likely complained the MB suspension was too harsh.

Bilstein HD's are quite firm, even the Comforts are not exactly soft. But that is how MB intended the car to be. You think the 124 is firm? Go drive any 2000-up AMG model, preferably on rough roads, and count how many teeth you lose. If it's a Black model, a mouth guard is recommended.

quite true - a W124 is not supposed to drive like a buick.
