Detailed Description

FCS 348009 is built for rear suspension service on Mercedes-Benz GLE models that use a conventional rear shock setup rather than air suspension. The listed dimensions help confirm the correct travel range for the application, with 15.47 inches compressed, 19.65 inches extended, and 4.18 inches of stroke. This part number is a practical match for rear shock replacement on the Mercedes-Benz GLE350, GLE450, GLE450e, and GLE580 within the stated model years.

FCS is the brand line identified for this suspension shock absorber, and 348009 is the part number to reference when verifying the rear application. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

• Rear-end bouncing after bumps or dips
• Excessive body movement over uneven pavement
• Reduced rear suspension control
• Uneven ride behavior from a worn shock absorber
• Noisy or unstable rear suspension response

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle is equipped with a rear suspension setup that excludes air suspension before ordering. For the GLE350, also verify the vehicle is not equipped with sport suspension, since that configuration is excluded from this fitment. Compare the original shock length and mounting configuration to FCS 348009 before installation, and replace only on the listed rear applications.

Quality Assurance

FCS 348009 is cataloged as a suspension shock absorber with application-specific dimensions and vehicle fitment data for the listed Mercedes-Benz GLE models. Use the confirmed year, model, and rear-position fitment details to verify selection before service.
