Product Description

The Bilstein 22-003652 B8 Performance Plus front strut assembly is a performance-oriented shock designed to elevate handling dynamics and steering precision on classic and performance-equipped Mercedes-Benz models. Featuring performance-tuned damping and a gas-pressure twin-tube design, this strut delivers agile response and consistent control whether paired with lowering springs or sport suspension setups. Its durable yellow corrosion-resistant finish ensures long life and dependable performance.

This strut fits the front suspension of multiple Mercedes-Benz vehicles spanning model years 1984 through 1995, including 190, 260E, 300CE, 300D/300TD/300E, and E320 variants where sport or compatible suspension configurations are present. It installs using the original factory upper stem and lower mounting hardware and is sold individually. For best balance and consistent handling, it's recommended to install both left and right front struts together. Always verify exact year, suspension setup, and spring combination prior to ordering.
