A worn rear shock can show up as a bouncy ride, extra body movement over bumps or fluid on the shock body. As a first check, look at the shock body for leaks, dents or rust with the engine off. A bouncy ride can also come from other suspension parts, so a shop can confirm the cause before you replace anything. The 2006-2013 Mercedes-Benz R350 takes two rear shocks and this listing is one, so order two and fit them together.
Fits
Besides the 2006-2013 Mercedes-Benz R350, the vehicles it fits include the 2007-2009 Mercedes-Benz R320 and the 2006-2008 Mercedes-Benz R500. It suits the right or left rear side of cars with ADS and excludes AMG models. If your car is not named here, open the "Vehicles it fits" section to check your exact model and engine.
