Warranty information can vary by retailer. Please refer to the specific warranty policy provided by the seller at the time of purchase.

Ensure the shock absorber was installed correctly with all bolts torqued to specification. A professional wheel alignment is highly recommended after suspension work.

Compatibility: This shock absorber is designed for the front axle of Mercedes-Benz C-Class models (chassis codes W204, S204, C204) manufactured for vehicles with standard suspension and *without* electronic suspension control. Always verify your vehicle's Original Equipment (OE) part numbers against the listed compatible OE numbers (2043200130, 2043200730, 2043232400, 2043232600, 2043233400) before purchase.
