Mercedes-Benz Passenger A167320710489 Air Suspension Strut

Description

The AIR SUSPENSION STRUT is a critical component that replaces traditional spring systems with air bags to deliver superior ride quality and handling. It is installed in the front or rear suspension assemblies of passenger vehicles to support body lift, absorb shocks, and maintain consistent road contact. Key advantages include lighter weight, adjustable ride height, and enhanced durability under varying loads. Manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Passenger, MPN A167320710489, this strut measures 280 × 300 × 1000 mm and is produced in Mexico.

Key Features & Benefits

This part really does a couple of things. First, it’s a structural component, it’s a key part of your suspension that connects the wheel assembly to the vehicle. But the ‘air suspension’ part means it also manages ride height and comfort. It uses compressed air, held in an internal air spring, to absorb bumps and keep the vehicle level. It’s a complete unit—it combines the shock absorber with that air spring all in one piece. It's a vital piece of your overall suspension system. Your suspension does more than just make the ride comfortable, it keeps your tires in contact with the road for better handling and braking. The air strut does that by constantly adjusting to road conditions, and by maintaining a consistent ride height. Essentially, it’s working to keep everything smooth and stable, whether you're carrying a light load or something heavier. It’s part of a system, so things like the air compressor and air lines all work with it.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If one of these goes bad, you’ll notice it pretty quickly. Often it’ll start with a sagging corner of the vehicle, or a really bouncy, uncomfortable ride. Sometimes you’ll hear a hissing sound, or the compressor will run constantly trying to keep the air pressure up. It's important because a failing strut affects handling and stability—it’s a safety issue. Plus, driving with a bad one will likely wear out other suspension components faster. You can find replacements at places like Fixparts Online, and getting a good quality strut will really make a difference in how your vehicle rides and handles. It’s one of those parts where you really get what you pay for.
