Product Line Details

The Bilstein B3 OE Replacement line focuses on restoring original suspension function rather than changing the vehicle’s ride characteristics. For Mercedes-Benz C250 and Mercedes-Benz C300 applications, this approach helps maintain the factory suspension balance and keeps the rear spring rate aligned with OE specifications. If you are replacing a worn rear spring on a Mercedes-Benz C300 or Mercedes-Benz C250, 36-278282 is built for that original-equipment style repair.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle is equipped with standard suspension before ordering. Confirm rear application and compare the original spring shape, dimensions, and part number 36-278282 against the removed component before installation. Because coil springs affect ride height and suspension load, replacement should be performed with proper spring service tools and followed by a suspension inspection.

Quality Assurance

Bilstein manufactures B3 OE Replacement springs to OE dimensional and rate specifications so the repaired suspension returns to factory-style function and safety expectations. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
