Bilstein's B6 front strut assembly is a damping upgrade for the rear-wheel-drive Mercedes-Benz Metris, built with a twintube design and a velocity-sensitive, digressive piston that reacts to changing road conditions for consistent, fade-free performance. Each application is tuned specifically for the Metris to handle the added weight a work or camper van carries.Every damper is tested to meet or exceed OE standards, delivering a real improvement in ride quality, handling, and comfort over the factory strut.Important Compatibility InformationThis strut is sold individually; two are needed for the front axle. The matching Bilstein B6 rear shock for the same Metris is sold separately.Why Choose Bilstein B6 Twintube design with a velocity-sensitive, digressive piston Tuned for the Metris's added van weight, not a generic passenger-car valve Reuses the factory spring seat — no spring seat swap needed Non-adjustable damping, application-tuned from the factory What's IncludedBilstein B6 front strut assembly (x1)Reused from the vehicle: the factory spring seat is reused.Installation NotesAfter installing, have caster, camber and any driver-assistance sensors checked and adjusted to specification, along with headlight aim and the load-dependent brake compensator and ABS system. Rubber-mounted damper attachments should be left loose until the car is back on its wheels at ride height. Do not use impact tools on any fastener. Installation should be performed by a qualified suspension specialist.Product Specifications SKU: B009 22-262172 MPN: 22-262172 GTIN: 651860818214 Manufacturer: Bilstein Series: Bilstein B6 Internal design: Twintube Adjustable damping: non-adjustable Finish: yellow paint Fitment: front strut, sold individually, for the 2016-2022 Mercedes-Benz Metris RWD — two are needed per axle Frequently Asked QuestionsDoes this lower the van?No. This is a damping upgrade tuned for the factory ride height and factory spring.Is the damping adjustable?No. Bilstein publishes this as a non-adjustable damper, valved for the Metris application at the factory.Do I need an alignment after installing?Yes.
