FAQ
What front shock absorbers does M&B Parts stock for the Mercedes C-Class?
M&B Parts stocks front shocks for two C-Class generations. The W204/W207 C and E-Coupe (2007–2014) uses OGI000912 at R1,299. The W205 C-Class (2014–2019) uses OGI000913 at R1,399. Both are supplied as left or right hand fitment and include standard hydraulic struts, not air suspension units.
Does M&B Parts stock front air shocks for the Mercedes ML, GL, and GLE?
Yes. M&B Parts stocks front air shocks for the ML/GL/GLE/GLS W166 and X166 (2012–2018) with and without ADS (Adaptive Damping System). Without ADS: OGI000096/097 at R9,999 each side. With ADS: OGI000098/099 at R9,999. Confirm whether your vehicle has the ADS option before ordering - the two units are not interchangeable.
What is the top strut mounting bearing and do I need to replace it with my front shocks?
The top strut mounting bearing (OGI000165, R399) sits between the shock absorber and the vehicle body on the W204, W212, and W176. It is a wear item and should be inspected whenever front shocks are replaced. Replacing it at the same time avoids having to strip the suspension again shortly after.
Does M&B Parts stock front air shocks for the Mercedes S-Class W220 and W221?
Yes. Front air shocks for the S-Class W220 (1999–2005) are stocked at R6,499 per side (OGI000108). The W221 S-Class (2005–2014) front air shock (OGI000110) is priced at R6,999 per side. Both are available left and right hand. Contact us on 011 524 0080 to confirm stock before ordering.
How do I know if my Mercedes front shocks need replacing?
The clearest signs are excessive bouncing after hitting a bump, nose-diving under braking, uneven tyre wear, or a knocking sound from the front suspension on rough roads. On air suspension models, sagging at the front or an error message on the instrument cluster typically indicates a failed air strut rather than a hydraulic shock.
Does M&B Parts deliver front shocks nationwide in South Africa?
Yes. Front shock absorbers are dispatched from the M&B Parts warehouse in Edenvale, Johannesburg, and shipped to all major cities including Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria, and Polokwane.
