The set of 4 with rebate (a couple years ago, am remembering they were KYB), the rear mounting point on the axle was not the right size to accept the bolt (smaller bushing). I had to send all 4 back because I needed 4 PLUS the rebate was invalid if all 4 were not used (two front with returned 2 rear, equaled NO REBATE). Had to buy a different set of 4 with a higher price. Am glad I tried the rear replacements first, just the one attempted replace was a lot better than having to install fronts then finding out the rears would not work. IF you buy from RA, make SURE you install/use BEFORE the 30 day return they specify on the site. Buyer beware!

I have ordered several times from Rockauto for over 8 years and have never had a problem with them. They always ship items super fast and have reasonable prices.
The problem is the databases are not accurate and it is a problem on lots of sites. Even Bosch says we need two different downstream oxygen sensors when they are identical to the SLK320. Bosch even says the Crossfire will have to use different Bosch iridium spark plugs than the SLK320 and that makes no sense either. Lots of parts websites will say a part for a SLK320 is not compatible with the Crossfire and so forth. Even some sites will say a part is not compatible with a SLK320 but it is.
This is just how it goes when you buy parts online!
