Detailed Description

The FCS DT355174R suspension strut is a direct-fit front right replacement for Mercedes-Benz GLC platforms that use a monotube-style strut and high-ground-clearance suspension setup. It is listed for 2016-2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC300, 2017-2021 GLC43 AMG, 2018-2021 GLC63 AMG, 2018-2021 GLC63 AMG S, and 2018-2020 GLC350e applications, all with the specified body codes and without Airmatic suspension. If you are replacing a worn front passenger-side strut on a Mercedes-Benz GLC, this part number DT355174R matches the confirmed fitment data for those vehicles.

FCS is the brand line identified for this suspension strut, and the product is cataloged specifically for the front right position. This makes DT355174R a focused replacement choice when the vehicle requires the listed dimensions and suspension configuration rather than a universal strut.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle has high ground clearance suspension and does not use Airmatic before ordering. Verify the front right position, body code, and model year against the fitment list, and compare the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length to the original strut before installation. For Mercedes-Benz GLC applications, matching the exact suspension configuration is important for proper ride height and travel.
