What It Helps Address

• Loss of damping control during opening or closing
• Noise or movement caused by a worn gas strut
• Replacement needs on Mercedes-Benz S-Class vehicles with socket-style mounts

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, rod diameter, and 10 mm end attachment size before installation. Confirm the vehicle application against the fitment list for your Mercedes-Benz S350, S400, S500, S550, S600, S63 AMG, or S65 AMG. Inspect the mounting points for wear before installing the new strut, and transfer only the components required by the vehicle design since no hardware kit is listed.
