Jim,
I don't know for sure about the 190's, but I would bet that it would be similar, since MB seems to use the same ideas throughout the range (e.g., I think they all have a 5-point rear suspension). It'd be easy to tell just by looking under the front end to see if there is a sway bar going across the front end.

From what I've heard, and my own experience, it's usually the front ones that go bad (and they're the easiest to replace). They tend to wear out after 75-100 k miles.
