• Difficulty accessing the engine bay safely

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the existing support’s compressed length, extended length, and socket-style end connections before installation. Compare the rod and tube diameters to the original part to confirm proper fitment on your Mercedes-Benz CLK320, CLK430, or CLK55 AMG. Replace supports in pairs when the opposite side shows similar wear, and support the hood securely before removing the old strut.
