Hi,
No they are not the same, the springs are specced to the chassis according to model, and spec. personally I would only buy a replacement spring from MB I also would not just be buying one but a pair for the front, as the existing intact spring will be tired and it has done the same mileage as the snapped one afterall. I bought a set of springs for my C43 from the dealer a couple of years ago now and they were just over £50 ea.

Get it done at an Indie as the normal spring compressors aren't up to it, also the fitting that holds it together requires a special tool

that could be a problem, the car seamed fine on all 4 wheels. when i jacked car up to wax oil underneath i heard i go then. spring has moved so i am unable to drop it back down.
car is jacked up in my garage at home

You'd be as well to get them both done at the same time to save yourself the trouble.

Hi,
For info any c class 202 or ClK 208 front spring will fit your car, just to get it off of the jack but like others have said you will struggle without the proper spring compressor.
