When I searched for engine shock mounts on pelican parts three mostly the same part numbers came up:

123-241-48-13-M22 $145

123-241-48-13-INT $143

123-241-48-13-MBZ $117

Why the price difference? is the cheaper one take longer to ship?

Thanks in advance to anyone who reads/responds to this.

Different suppliers - the last three characters in their modified part numbers denote "where they come from". MBZ will come in "original Mercedes" packaging.

As for shipping times you need to speak with them

Don't leave that there - I'll take it to bits!

Thank you for the reply,

I have one additional question, do you think it is actually necessary to replace this item?
Or can I get away with just replacing engine shocks and engine mounts?

If you can't answer this question without seeing the engine running then ill post a video tomorrow.

Regards,

I'm in the camp that says "Mercedes fitted them for a reason".

For this particular subject, however, you will find lots of people saying these parts are not necessary.

They are meant to help damp (engine) starting and stopping vibrations.

If your engine mounts are hard and collapsed then the perceived benefit of these (rather expensive) little shock absorbers is not likely to be noticed. If however you've got recent / new motor mounts then it might be worth trying to protect these (often difficult to fit) parts from excessive vibration.

Although Mercedes did fit these parts it is unlikely that not fitting them will bring immediate doom and gloom. I think it is possible that not fitting them might accelerate engine mount wear / collapse but I have no data to back up this assumption.

At the end of the day 'tis your car 'tis your choice.
