Help with shocks for 1995 E300

[martureo]

I'm pretty good with parts and part numbers (especially since those are part of my job as an engineer). But I am so sick of this nonsense.

To make it clear, I want Bilstein B6 (heavy duty) shocks, not struts, for the rear of my wife's 1995 E300. I have no lowered the suspension, nor is anything else different than stock.

Bilstein lists it as:
24-100441
With old p/n of F4-BE3-A044-H0 and F4-BE3-A044-H1

So I try Mercedes, get their p/n off of EPC. (Their price was $160 per)
Old p/n: A124 326 23 00
New p/n: A124 326 23 00

Then I try Rusty's old company... and they won't pick up the phone... grrrr....

Then I try Peachparts: ($97 ea)
124-326-23-00-M12
[specifically labeled HD]

Okay so far...

Then I try partsg33k and I find this.
W0133-1910418 ($63.25)(no note)
W0133-1910420 ($60.25)(without self-leveling)
W0133-1910416 ($70.25)(without self-leveling)


I tried Amazon, which would sell the shock....for $281!!!!
But the software wouldn't connect the part to my car.

I tried TireRack, but they won't agree that the part is available for my car, nor could I find a corresponding p/n.


Can someone please tell me what the magic part number is so I can actually compare a price?

(If you can tell, I really miss Rusty and Phil)
