Keep your Mercedes-Benz hood rising smoothly and holding open with the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 3B-3474XK — a right-side (R), 22.99-inch gas-charged Lift-O-Mat strut that supports the hood's weight and controls its motion. It's a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 2001-2004 Mercedes-Benz C200, 2002-2007 and 2009 C230, 2001-2005 C240, 2006-2009 C280, 2001-2005 C320, 2003-2009 CLK500 and 2007-2009 CLK550 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 16 applications.
Signs this support may need replacing include a hood that drops, drifts down, or won't stay up on its own. For best results, replace in pairs so both sides open and hold evenly.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What is this part and what does it do?
It's a right-side gas-charged Stabilus Lift-O-Mat hood lift support (MPN 3B-3474XK). It supports the hood's weight, controls the opening motion, and holds the hood open.
Which vehicles does the 3B-3474XK fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the listed Mercedes-Benz C- and CLK-Class applications, such as the 2001-2005 C320 and 2003-2009 CLK500. See the Buyer's Guide tab for all 16 applications.
How does the dynamic damping work?
Gas flow is controlled by an internal groove pressed into the tube wall, so the support extends with engineered damping for a fluid opening motion without bouncing or jerking.
What does the internal compression spring do?
The internal mechanical spring compresses when the hood is closed, then gives an added boost during initial opening to help lift the hood off the latch mechanism.
Should I replace both supports at once?
For best results, replace them in pairs. This helps both sides open and hold the hood evenly and consistently.
