Good To Know

Q: How do I know if my hatch strut needs replacing? A: A sagging tailgate, slow power operation, or fluid visible around the shaft usually points to a worn strut. Replacing both sides together often keeps the hatch moving evenly.

Q: Is this an original Mercedes part? A: No, this is an aftermarket replacement lift support designed for the listed X166 models. Confirm your serial number and mounting configuration before ordering.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
