Arnott Industries Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:SK-5018
Help take the harshness out of every mile with the Arnott Industries Suspension Shock Absorber SK-2868, a brand-new aftermarket rear shock for the Mercedes-Benz X164 platform. It fits many Mercedes-Benz models equipped with Airmatic and without the Adaptive Damping System (ADS), among them the 2010-2012 Mercedes-Benz GL350, 2007-2012 Mercedes-Benz GL450 and 2008-2012 Mercedes-Benz GL500. This shock absorber is a gas-filled unit custom-tuned to deliver an OE-like ride, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the worn original with no modifications required. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and to confirm your exact application.
Arnott recommends replacing shocks in pairs so both sides wear and damp evenly. If a worn or leaking rear shock is behind your bouncing, wallowing, or poor ride control, this SK-2868 replaces it.
