Shock Absorbers
Dear All,
I have a 1999 G500 and need to replace the front and rear shocks would anyone be able to give me the correct part numbers please.
Regards
Freddie
Don't know MB part numbers but assume on a 500 they are Bilsteins?
Bilstein B6 easily available from Demon Tweets, Larkspeed etc and cheaper
The 500's often ran factory AMG version shocks
No more expensive than the standard MB shocks
Bilstein B6 are a very good alternative as stated
Post VIN.. even just last 5 digits and I can put part numbers up
Yes AMG type
Front HWA 005 323 01 00
Rear HWA 004 326 01 00

Hi Gav,
Would you have an idea of cost?

If you ring round a few dealers they will all potentially offer different discounts, easy now you have the part numbers?
Are yours shot?
Hi Jason,
I'll have a call around my local dealers,
I had an advisory on my MOT about the shocks and wanted to get an idea of replacement costs.

Freddie
Readily available from MB Germany
A tempting £408......
Unfortunatly each so £1632 a set of four
A nice set of Bilstein B6 at circa £650/700 a set from Autodoc or similar would be a better choice!
With a bit of searching you can some good deals on Bilsteins from Germany, or you could still buy Koni Raid shocks for half the price of OE stuff and far superior ( only my opinion)
Dear All,
Just wondering if the later shock absorbers from the G550 would fit on my 1999 G500 R/H drive
Take care
Freddie

Hey Guys,
These are the shocks i was looking at fitting from a later model G Wagen
The part number for the shocks is A4633260400

Freddie
They will fit OK
But later G53AMG type
Much stffer and hardher ride
People often go the other way anf replace these to soften the ride
Personally would not and if you do would go for all 4 rather tha just rear to balance it up
Hi Guys,

for my 1999 G 500 Vin Number WDB4632412X117980
