It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 2006-2007 Mercedes-Benz C280, 2006-2007 Mercedes-Benz C350 and 2003-2005 Mercedes-Benz C240; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.

SACHS engineers its shocks and struts to help restore a vehicle's original handling dynamics. Each unit is designed to meet high standards for safety, comfort, performance, and quality.
A strut or shock absorber controls spring movement and helps keep the tire in contact with the road. Signs it may need replacing include excessive bouncing after bumps, nose dive under braking, body lean in turns, fluid seeping from the body, and uneven tire wear. Other suspension faults can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. If a worn front right strut is the cause, this unit replaces it. Replacing the left and right sides together is commonly recommended for even, balanced handling.
