Description

The Mercedes-Benz GL350 (from the GL-Class series, typically the X164 or X166 generation) uses air suspension for its front shock absorbers, also known as air struts. These components are part of the AIRMATIC suspension system, which combines air springs with adaptive dampers to provide a smooth ride and adjust the suspension height as needed.
