Question: I have a 1988 Mercedes-Benz 190D and want replacement shocks

Answer: For the 1988 190D we have shocks from KYB and Bilstein. You can see those here:

KYB GR2 1988 Mercedes-Benz 190D Rear Shocks
KYB Gasajust 1988 Mercedes-Benz 190D Rear Shocks

Bilstein Light Duty 1988 Mercedes-Benz 190D Front Shocks
Bilstein Light Duty 1988 Mercedes-Benz 190D Rear Shocks

If you're looking for a good shock that will give you a ride similar to the factory one, I would recommend the KYB Gasajust/ GR2 combination or the Bilstein Light Duty (the Bilsteins are more expensive, but better built, so if you're planning to keep the car forever, I would recommend those. If you're looking to improve your handling, there are also Bilstein Heavy Duty (moderate upgrade) and Sport (high performance) shocks.
