Rear Shock Left=Right Gas 2006-2012 (Mercedes Benz A Class W169) is listed as an auto-part option. Confirm fitment, part number and compatibility before purchase, especially where vehicle-specific matching is required.

Rear Shock Left=Right Gas 06-12 (Mercedes Benz A Class W169) is a key suspension component designed for the rear right-hand side of Mercedes Benz A-Class W169 models produced between 2006 and 2012. This gas shock absorber helps control the vehicle’s rear suspension movement, improving ride comfort and stability by dampening road shocks and reducing bounce.

This rear shock works by absorbing and dissipating the energy from road irregularities, maintaining tire contact with the road for better handling and safety. When replacing your shock absorber, compare the position and side (rear, right-hand) to ensure you select the correct unit. Both left and right rear shocks often come in matching pairs and should be inspected together for even performance.

The unit suits the specific rear suspension setup of the Mercedes Benz A Class W169 within the stated model years, making it important to verify the vehicle’s production period. Consider the condition of your existing shocks in relation to ride quality and suspension noise before choosing this part. If uncertain, professional advice or using the vehicle parts finder can assist in accurate selection.

  • Fits rear right-hand side of Mercedes Benz A Class W169 (2006-2012)
