Product Description

The Bilstein 24-293808 B6 Performance Front Shock is a high-quality gas-pressurized monotube shock engineered as a direct OE replacement for the front suspension on select Mercedes-Benz ML-Class (W166) and GLE-Class (W166) SUVs without air suspension. Designed to work with the factory spring setup, the B6 Performance shock delivers improved handling precision, damping control, and consistent performance over standard factory shocks, enhancing ride comfort and stability during everyday driving and dynamic maneuvers.

This front shock absorber installs directly into the original front shock mounts using the OE-style stem and clevis connections, requiring no modifications. Its monotube design and performance-tuned valving provide better resistance to shock fade, making it ideal for drivers who want a balance of comfort and responsive handling. Sold individually, it's recommended to replace the matching shock on the opposite side for balanced front suspension performance.
