Arnott Industries Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:SK-5018
Help restore firm, controlled damping at the rear of your Mercedes-Benz SUV with the Arnott Industries Rear Shock Absorber SK-3612. It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLS500, 2017-2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE43 AMG and 2016-2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE63 AMG — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details. This rear-position shock is engineered as a passive alternative for aging air or electronic suspension systems, converting an active setup to passive while helping bring back a smooth, composed ride.
A suspension shock absorber dampens spring oscillation to help keep the tires in contact with the road. Signs this shock may need replacing include excessive bouncing or a floaty rear end. For best results, replacing in pairs is recommended for balanced ride control.

Where does the SK-3612 shock mount?
It is a rear-position shock absorber for the listed Mercedes-Benz applications. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm it matches your vehicle.
Can this replace my air or electronic suspension shock?
Yes. It is designed as a passive alternative for aging air or electronic suspension systems, converting an active setup to passive with a custom-valved shock.
Do I need to replace both sides at once?
For best results, replacing in pairs is recommended so both rear shocks provide balanced, even ride control.
Is the nitrogen charge important?
Yes. The shock is charged with pressurized nitrogen (N2) gas to reduce foaming and aeration, which helps deliver better performance.
What are signs my shock absorber may need replacing?
Excessive bouncing, a floaty or unsettled rear end, and reduced ride control can all be signs a worn shock may need replacing.
