Product Details

Bilstein 24-281461 is engineered for Mercedes-Benz vehicles equipped with DampTronic electronic damping control. This shock absorber is designed to maintain the factory ride character and steering feel while meeting OE-level requirements for fit and function. The B4 OE Replacement (DampTronic) line focuses on restoring original suspension performance rather than changing the vehicle’s handling balance, making it a practical choice for a Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG or C450 AMG with the correct suspension setup.

This part cross-references Mercedes-Benz 205 320 90 30 for the same application.

What This Shock Absorber Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or reduced damping control at the front right corner
• Loss of factory ride quality on electronically adjustable suspension
• Uneven handling response caused by a worn OE damper
• Suspension noise or harshness from a deteriorated shock absorber
• Restoration of OE-style suspension behavior after replacement

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle fitment by year, model, position, and suspension configuration before installation. This part is listed for the front right side on 2017-2022 Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG and on 2016 Mercedes-Benz C450 AMG without air suspension. Confirm that the vehicle uses DampTronic electronically adjustable damping and compare the original part number 205 320 90 30 before replacement.

Because this is a suspension shock absorber with an upper stem mount and lower clevis mount, proper torque procedures and suspension inspection are recommended during installation. Inspect related mounting points and adjacent suspension components for wear before completing the repair.

Bilstein B4 OE Replacement (DampTronic) dampers are built to meet or exceed OE standards for the specified application. Part number 24-281461 is backed by Bilstein’s OE-focused engineering for electronically controlled suspension systems on compatible Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
