That's only if you have the type of mount which has the metal 'sheath' that extends down to the top line which the arrow in your picture lines up with. there were other kinds of mounts which only had a metal cap on top, and had rubber all the way around (bell-shaped) with no aluminum sheath. where do you measure for those type of mounts, the bottom of the rubber?

If I understand correctly the mounts you are talking about, they are shaped the same way as the OE ones ... so you would measure from the part of the rubber that corresponds with the bottom of the metal ... the bottom of the "bell." I could be wrong though, as I'm not really sure I know what mounts you're talking about. Fortunately mine are OE so I used the graphic sixto provided.

the mounts you have which are OE, are the updated style mounts with the aluminum sheath. there are still rubber non-sheathed OE mounts out there with MB part numbers stamped on them. they are circulating through the parts stores and online, and were made by mercedes

Ah, OK. Don't they have a similar shape to the metal-sheathed ones, though?
