Detailed Description

Suspensia X31BU1357 is a suspension control arm bushing for Mercedes-Benz GLE350, GLE450, and GLE580 models in rear upper forward applications. The bushing is manufactured to OE fit and OE appearance standards, with dimensions that support accurate replacement during suspension repair.
