Air Suspension Strut Overview

The PRT Performance Ride 990034 is an air suspension strut built for Mercedes-Benz GL-Class applications with AIRMATIC suspension and without ADS. It combines air-adjustable operation with a twin-tube hydraulic design to restore ride control and suspension height management.

Compatible With Mercedes-Benz GL350, GL450, GL550, and GL320 front applications listed below, this PRT air suspension strut is built around a stud upper mount and clevis lower mount for direct replacement use. The 990034 part number is also useful when verifying the correct air strut for your vehicle.

Key Features

  • Air-adjustable air suspension strut for ride height control
  • Twin-tube construction with hydraulic internal damping
  • Gas charged with progressive spring rate design
  • Protective aluminum can and dust shield included
  • Spring seat, spring isolators, and upper mounting isolator included
  • Heavy-duty crimping rings for added assembly integrity

Detailed Description

PRT Performance Ride 990034 is an air suspension strut engineered for front suspension service on Mercedes-Benz GL-Class models equipped with AIRMATIC and without ADS. The assembly uses a twin-tube shock/strut design, an internal hydraulic damper, and an air bladder to support suspension height adjustment while maintaining controlled ride response. The progressive spring rate and shock spring-assisted construction help the unit respond smoothly across changing load conditions. The 990034 part number identifies this specific air strut configuration for fitment verification.

Brand Line: PRT Air Suspension Strut identifies the product family for air ride suspension service, with a focus on complete air strut assemblies rather than basic shock-only replacement parts. For Mercedes-Benz GL350, GL450, GL550, and GL320 owners, this line provides a direct-fit replacement path for the specified front suspension applications.

What It Helps Fix

  • Loss of ride height control in air suspension systems
  • Excessive bouncing or reduced damping performance
  • Air spring leakage or weakened air bladder function
  • Uneven front suspension response under load
  • Noise or wear related to aging strut assemblies
