W203 Suspension query

[steveharrisw203]

Does anyone know if the w203 c class ESTATE use the same rear suspension componets as the saloon\coupe?

Thanks

The way they bottom out so easily, I would say yes, but I don't know for sure. My 320CDI had self-levelling rear shocks, a rare option that I'm sure wasn't available on the saloon.

Hi,
They are the same.

 

[steveharrisw203]

They are different FYI

Estate wishbone is different from saloon and coupe. Bush is much bigger on the estate.

AFAIK they do use the same dampers and springs.

Yes

Your right PRC, everything is the same except the wishbone (merc call it something fancy)
