Unity 254870 Rear Shock Absorber

The Unity 254870 is a twin-tube gas-charged rear shock absorber built as a direct replacement for original equipment units on select Mercedes-Benz models. It serves owners of 2008-2017 C-Class and E-Class vehicles who need to restore factory ride quality without modification.

Direct OE replacement design

The unit installs using existing mounting points so no extra brackets, hardware or electronic adapters are required. Its gas-charged twin-tube construction is engineered to match original damping characteristics and provide consistent performance over the service life of the part.

Excludes electronic suspension models

Vehicles equipped with electronic suspension control on the C230, C250, C300 and C350 are not compatible with this absorber. Buyers must verify their specific suspension type before purchase because the part cannot interface with adaptive damping systems.
