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.

  • Gas-filled, precision-tuned: custom-tuned to provide an OE-like ride on the listed X164 applications.
  • Direct-fit: engineered to replace the worn OE rear shock without any modifications.
  • Protective dust boot: shields the piston rod from road grit and contamination.
  • Designed and assembled in the USA: Arnott assembles and packages these shocks in the US.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the right shock absorber for a 2007-2012 Mercedes-Benz GL450?

Yes. It is listed for the 2007-2012 Mercedes-Benz GL450 with Airmatic and without ADS, along with the 2010-2012 Mercedes-Benz GL350 and 2008-2012 Mercedes-Benz GL500. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

Is this a front or rear shock absorber?

This is a rear shock absorber. It is a gas-filled unit custom-tuned to provide an OE-like ride on the listed applications.

Do I need to replace both shocks at once?

Arnott recommends replacing shocks in pairs so both sides wear and damp evenly, though it is a recommendation rather than a strict requirement.

Will this shock require modifications to install?

No. It is engineered as a direct-fit replacement that installs in place of the worn OE rear shock without any modifications.

Does this work with Adaptive Damping System (ADS)?

No. This shock is designed for vehicles equipped with Airmatic and without the Adaptive Damping System (ADS). Verify your suspension configuration before ordering.
