Product Details

Arnott’s NEW product line focuses on direct-fit suspension replacements engineered for factory-style performance. This SK-3601 front right strut is tuned to match OE behavior through tested internal settings, giving Mercedes-Benz SL-Class owners a replacement that follows the original suspension layout rather than relying on external control inputs. The design uses a monotube, hydraulic, gas-charged construction with a 50 mm body diameter, steel housing, and linear spring rate for consistent response. Arnott SK-3601 also includes the coil spring, spring seat, bearing plate, and spring isolators needed for the assembly.

This part cross-references Mercedes-Benz OE numbers 2313204813 and 2313230600 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Front right suspension sag or uneven ride height
• Noisy or worn strut assembly components
• Reduced steering response and body control
• Harsh ride quality from a fatigued factory strut
• Loss of OE-like comfort and stability on the SL-Class
