1994 E420 Motor Mounts

[emerydc8]

I was shopping around for a deal on motor mounts. Has anyone had any experience with URO brand mounts? Is there significant difference between the genuine MB mounts and aftermarket mounts? Any recommendations?

Never heard of this brand.. The original last 180k miles.. Aftermarket between 20-30k miles.

You're new here. You'll get used to it. Is the (totaled by wife) part tacky? I can take it down if it bothers you.

I think I'm going to go with the expensive factory mounts since I know it's going to be a pain changing them out and I only want to do it once this decade. I did it once 10 years ago on my 400E and it felt like it was a new car.

You know some dealers off some big discounts. They list for $210 -each. Replace the transmission mount at the same time ($65).

They have a naperville Illinois dealership which sells 15% over dealer cost.

Or there is Ft Lauderdale dealership- wholesale pricing.


Just did this a few weeks ago with factory mounts=0).

Thanks. Duval MB in Gainesville used to have a web site where you could check their prices on line. I don't know why they stopped. Since changing the mounts is a big job for me, I would be reluctant to use aftermarket parts. I plan to change the transmission mount at the same time.

Okay, I checked with the dealer and they list for over $400 each. The parts guy said he could go down to $300 but that's it. Now I'm starting to reconsider using factory mounts. Has anyone else actually replaced their mounts with aftermarket mounts and had good results?
