Sachs Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:317 257
Help control rear-end bounce and keep your Mercedes-Benz composed on the road with the SACHS shock absorber, part number 317266. This rear shock is a direct-fit replacement for the 2012-2014 Mercedes-Benz C250 and the 2008-2014 Mercedes-Benz C300. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific details.
A rear shock absorber dampens the up-and-down motion of the springs, which helps keep the tires in contact with the road and the body steady. Signs a shock may need replacing include continued bouncing after bumps, rear-end sway or squat, fluid leaking from the shock body, and uneven tire wear. If a worn rear shock is the cause of these symptoms, this unit replaces it. Replacing both rear shocks together is recommended for balanced handling.
