Front Shock Absorber for 2003-2009 Mercedes-Benz E320 & More - Sachs 317 381

Bring back a controlled, composed ride with the SACHS suspension strut 317381, a front-position damper designed to restore original handling dynamics. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 2003-2009 Mercedes-Benz E320, 2006-2009 Mercedes-Benz E350 and 2003-2006 Mercedes-Benz E500. It is cataloged as a suspension strut and titled as a suspension shock absorber, so you'll find it listed under both names.

• Intelligently engineered: Designed to restore the vehicle's original handling dynamics.
• High standards: Designed to meet the highest safety, comfort, performance, and quality standards.
• Application-tuned valve: Valving tuned to the application pairs longevity with comfort and control.
• Any road condition: SACHS dampening characteristics are intended to deliver comfort and control across varied road conditions.

As a front suspension damper, this strut controls spring and body movement and helps keep the tires in contact with the road. Signs a front strut may need replacing include excessive bouncing after bumps, nose-dive under braking, fluid leaking from the body, or uneven tire wear. Other worn suspension parts can cause similar symptoms, so have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause before replacing. Replacing both front units together as a matched pair is recommended for even, balanced handling. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details and the full application list.
