Detailed Product Description

The Arnott NEW AS-3161 air suspension strut is a new, not remanufactured, component designed specifically for select Mercedes-Benz luxury sedans. It features an air adjustable design that integrates seamlessly with the vehicle's air ride suspension system. The internal damper uses hydraulic technology to provide consistent shock absorption, while the progressive spring rate and shock spring assistance enhance ride comfort and handling dynamics. The strut includes a black protective boot with heavy duty crimping rings to ensure durability and protection against debris. Both upper and lower mounts are designed for precise fitment, with the upper mount using a stud type with isolator and the lower mount employing a clevis connection. Included mounting hardware and bearing plate simplify installation, and spring isolators help reduce noise and vibration.
