HOW-TO: Replacing E500E SLS Rear Hydraulic Struts | "HOW-TO" Tutorial Articles
Introduction and Background A common malady that ALL E500Es (and 400E/E420s with rear SLS) suffer sooner or later, is a distinct and loud "clunking" at the rear, when the car travels over certain bumps. Not ALL bumps, but certain sharp bumps such as curbs, large pavement cracks/potholes and...

Thanks, I’ll be checking it out.
I was able to put the hydro legs into my shopping cart. 
But, on the same site (MBOEMparts as I was directed to) I could not locate either the copper o-rings (N007 0003 012 102) or LCA nuts (N901 113 010 003). Per the site, the upper strut bushing (201 326 18 68) is NLA. Lastly, the lower strut bushing ( 124 326 03 68) raised a warning that this was not for this car (for which I provided the VIN prior to parts search.)
Any suggestions as to (in presumed order of importance):
- source for o-rings (N007 0003 012 102)?
- source for LCA nuts (N901 113 010 003)?
- alternative for NLA upper strut bushings (201 326 18 68)?
- the validity of the "not for your car" warning on the lower strut bushings?
As always, a warm "thank you" for all of your advice and assistance,
Charlie

Remove spaces from part numbers, and remove the letter "N". For "N007603 012102", search for: 007603012102

I would buy the complete mounting kit p/n 124-320-03-56, instead of only the rubber bushings mentioned in that thread. Besides, one of the bushings may be NLA. The kit is callout #41, the bushings are callouts 23 and 29. With the kit you get all new bolts/nuts/etc in addition to the rubber parts. TWO kits required.
Ignore the website's claim of not fitting your car. The website interchange info is not accurate.

I highly recommend getting an EPC, or using the online EPC (aka Xentry Parts / ISPPI, or something like that).

Below is is a common post found for many NLA (No Longer Available) parts. I've written the below rant multiple times and figured I'd post this as a sticky in a couple of the "Parts" subforums, for future reference. My intent is to try and save people some hassle/headaches by thinking "oh, maybe...
