I bought new shock absorbers from the main dealer parts counter, and the they're branded SACHS but come in a Mercedes box. Came all the way from Germany too. The sticker on the unit shows the following numbers:

82 4904 000 578m
203 320 72 30

How can I find the equivalent SACHS part number? Google and SACHS website didn't reveal a match.

The Online Catalogue on the SACHS website lists the following for the C32 AMG: part number 553 871 "Super Touring" - not an obvious match.

I tried submitting a technical query through the SACHS website but I keep getting an error. Anyone have an email address I can use instead or have any other suggestions?
 
It seems the error message on the SACHS website didn't stop the submission, they received it twice.
 
the part no is Shock Absorber Super Touring part no 553 871 ----SFE36/25X78A, Gas Pressure, Suspension Strut, Twin-Tube §Fitting Position Front Axle, for vehicles with sports suspension, to Ch.No. A 571229, to Ch.No. F 475205, to Ch.No. R 113461,

PART NO 203 320 72 30 is not listed but is probably the latest revision of the shock since that 72 part of the number refers to the revision version of the part- the higher the number usually the most recent----
 
Thanks Graeme, where dd you get the MB equivalents from?
 
I know this is an old thread, but i am chasing the sachs part number for for my C32 AMG Saloon, is the Sachs part number listed above for the estate model?
Euro car parts and GSF have no record of the Merc part number 203 320 72 30 and say they can't help,

They were for a saloon:

82 4904 000 578m
203 320 72 30

They were supplied by a main dealer using my chassis number, and the car was very well known to them, so I would be surprised if they supplied the wrong part.
 
Great thanks did you then order the sachs struts with the above part number?

Shock Absorber Super Touring part no 553 871 ----SFE36/25X78A

Did they fit ok?
 
You have PM.

No I bought them from the Mercedes parts counter, and they fit fine.
