Product Details

Bilstein B6 Performance dampers are built as an OE damper upgrade for vehicles that retain factory springs. On the Mercedes-Benz GLK250 and Mercedes-Benz GLK350, this rear shock absorber uses Bilstein’s monotube construction to help deliver more controlled suspension movement and more precise handling characteristics. Each unit is tested to meet or exceed OE standards, supporting dependable performance in daily driving and load changes.

Part number 24-164429 cross-references OE numbers 204 320 01 31 and 204 320 02 31 for the same application.

Common Issues This Shock Can Address

• Excessive rear-end bounce over bumps
• Reduced stability during cornering or lane changes
• Worn damping that leaves the rear suspension feeling loose
• Uneven ride control after OE shock wear
• Loss of composure under normal road impacts

Installation Notes

Install on the rear position only. This shock absorber is intended for use with the OE factory spring and should be matched to the correct Mercedes-Benz GLK fitment before installation. Verify the upper stem mount and lower eye mount dimensions against the vehicle’s original hardware and suspension layout. Part number 24-164429 is listed for 2010-2015 Mercedes-Benz GLK350 rear and 2013-2015 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 rear.
