This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
What It Is Used For
- Replacing a worn engine torque strut on Mercedes-Benz 300D or 300TD diesel models
- Restoring proper control of engine movement under load
- Addressing driveline vibration related to degraded torque strut support
- Correcting fitment issues caused by incorrect length or connection style
- Matching OE-style mounting dimensions for W123 chassis applications
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify compressed length, extended length, rod diameter, and M6 thread connections before installation. Confirm the vehicle application against the listed fitment for 1979 Mercedes-Benz 300TD, 1982-1985 Mercedes-Benz 300D, 1982-1985 Mercedes-Benz 300TD, and 1987 Mercedes-Benz 300TD.
