Mercedes-Benz W166 Boot Shocks (New)

Mercedes-Benz W166 Boot Shocks (New) — Legit Auto Parts, Centurion \nWe supply new boot gas struts for the Mercedes-Benz W166 ML / GLE Series. When the tailgate stops holding itself up, becomes heavy to lift, or drops unexpectedly, replacing the boot shocks will restore smooth opening and safe support. In addition, we confirm fitment using your VIN to ensure you receive the correct boot strut variant for your vehicle. \n

\nThese tailgate struts fit 2012–2019 W166 models, including: \n

\nHowever, the W166 platform has two boot shock options depending on whether your vehicle has manual lift or power-assisted/electric tailgate. \nTherefore, please send your VIN or a photo of your current strut mounting points before ordering. \n
