Mercedes says there are four different spring pad thicknesses available for this car. They are:


1. 8 mm 1 Burl
2. 13 mm 2 Burls
3. 18mm 3 Burls
4. 23mm 4 Burls


They said if I look at the spring pads on the car I should see 1 to 4 "bumps" which should tell me which size spring pad to purchase. Does this sound correct?

Yes, the burls will be noticeable on the old ones. The spring pad in the picture below is a 4-burl version.

Got the tire and wheel off. There are two red dots and three green dots painted onto the spring itself. Question, how many "burls" is this? Am I looking in the right place?

I found the burls on the spring pads. There are three burls on the front springs and three burls on the rear springs. According to what mercedes gave me I should use an 18mm spring pad.
