Product Description

The Bilstein 24-005111 B4 OE Replacement rear shock is engineered as a direct replacement for a range of classic Mercedes-Benz S-Class and SL models from the 1970s through the late 1980s. Designed to meet or exceed original equipment specifications, this shock helps restore factory ride quality, suspension control, and handling performance. Its monotube gas pressure design ensures consistent damping response and improved road feel during everyday driving.

This rear shock installs easily into the original suspension mounting points on compatible Mercedes-Benz W116, W126, R107, and C107 models without altering stock ride height. The durable black finish adds corrosion resistance, while the OE-matching design provides reliable performance for drivers looking to replace worn or aging rear dampers. Sold individually, it's recommended to install two shocks at the same time for balanced suspension performance.
