Bilstein 171-326-11-00 B4 OE Replacement Rear Shock Absorber

The Bilstein 171-326-11-00 is a B4 OE Replacement rear shock absorber engineered to factory specifications for the Mercedes-Benz SLK (R171) platform. Built to match the original suspension setup, this monotube gas-pressure damper restores the precise ride quality and handling balance your vehicle was designed to deliver.

Bilstein's B4 series is the benchmark for OE-quality replacement dampers, using the same monotube gas-pressure technology found in many original factory fitments. The single-tube design provides more consistent damping performance compared to twin-tube units, with better heat dissipation and fade resistance over extended use.

Key Features:

• Monotube gas-pressure design for consistent, fade-resistant damping performance
• OE-equivalent valving engineered to restore factory ride and handling characteristics
• Direct OEM replacement — references Mercedes-Benz OEM part number 171-326-11-00

Whether you're restoring worn dampers or performing a preventative suspension refresh, the Bilstein 171-326-11-00 delivers the confidence of a factory-grade component backed by Bilstein's legacy of precision suspension engineering.
