MAW169 Front Shock Left=Right Gas 2004-2012 (Mercedes Benz A Class W169) is a front suspension component designed for the Mercedes Benz A-Class W169 model years 2004 to 2012. This shock absorber is intended for the right-hand side but the listing covers left or right options as indicated. It helps control the vehicle’s ride quality by absorbing and dampening shocks from road irregularities.

Shocks like this one are critical for maintaining vehicle stability, tire contact with the road, and overall driving comfort. When searching for a replacement, compare your existing front shock absorber for the matching side and confirm it fits the 2004-2012 A-Class W169 model range.

Key considerations when selecting this unit include:

  • Position on the vehicle – front suspension
  • Compatible side – right-hand side (with indication that left/right units are interchangeable)
  • Designed specifically for Mercedes Benz A-Class W169 of model years 2004 to 2012

This gas shock absorber serves the purpose of controlling suspension motion and improving ride dynamics. Buyers should verify side and vehicle model before purchase, or submit a request to confirm fitment if unsure. Proper shock absorber function is essential for safe handling and comfort on the road.

If this repair may need matching clips, brackets, lights, panels or more than one part, check more Shocks, Quick Repair Bundle or Request a Part before ordering.
