Product Description

The **Bilstein 24-007078 B4 OE Replacement front shock** is engineered to restore original ride comfort and suspension performance on classic Mercedes-Benz SL models from the 1970s and early 1980s. Designed as a direct replacement for the factory front shock absorbers, this monotube gas-pressure damper matches the original equipment's damping characteristics to maintain stable, predictable handling without altering ride height or suspension balance. It works with the vehicle's existing coil springs and mounts to the front axle using OE-style stem and eyelet mounting points.

Finished in black corrosion-resistant paint with a durable internal design, the 24-007078 helps reduce road-shock feedback while preserving the classic driving feel these iconic SL cars were known for. Whether you're refreshing tired suspension parts or completing a restoration project, this shock absorber delivers dependable performance backed by Bilstein's limited lifetime warranty - a trusted choice for vintage Mercedes enthusiasts.
