• Application-tuned valving: valve tuning matched to the specific application, intended to pair longevity with comfort and control.
• Damping characteristics: developed to manage body and wheel movement across a wide range of road conditions.
• Rear position: cataloged for the rear of the listed 2015-2019 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 application.

A suspension shock absorber damps the up-and-down motion of the springs. This helps keep the tires in contact with the road and limits bounce and body movement. Signs a rear shock may need replacing include continued bouncing after a bump, the rear squatting under acceleration, fluid on the shock body, and uneven or cupped tire wear. Inspect the suspension to confirm the cause before replacing parts. SACHS rear shock absorbers are best replaced as a pair on the same axle so both sides damp evenly.
