Product Description

The Bilstein 22-164858 B4 OE Replacement front strut assembly is engineered to restore the original ride quality and handling characteristics on supported Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class vehicles. Designed as a direct-fit front strut for the R171 platform, this B4 strut uses a twin-tube gas-pressure design to provide consistent, reliable damping that helps maintain comfort and control over everyday road conditions. The durable black corrosion-resistant finish enhances longevity, while precision valving ensures performance aligned with factory specifications.

This front strut fits 2005 through 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLK models - including SLK280, SLK300, and SLK350 variants equipped with standard suspension - and installs using the original upper stem and special lower mount points without modifications. Sold individually, replacing both front struts together is recommended to ensure balanced suspension response and consistent handling after installation.
