Mercedes Benz GLE GLS 4WD Front Air Suspension Strut 1663201313

OE Reference: 1663201313

Vehicle Fitment: Mercedes-Benz W166 Chassis (ML / GLE / GL / GLS-Class), 4MATIC, Front Left

This air suspension strut is a direct-fit OE-grade replacement for the front-left corner of Mercedes-Benz W166-platform vehicles equipped with 4MATIC all-wheel drive and AIRMATIC air suspension. Covering the ML, GLE, GL, and GLS model families, this strut is specifically configured for the weight distribution, suspension geometry, and driveline layout of the166 4MATIC chassis.

The assembly combines an air spring for load support and height management with a hydraulic damper for vibration absorption and body motion control. The air spring uses a reinforced rubber bellows that maintains consistent pressure across varying loads, while the damper incorporates precision-valved oil passages to control compression and rebound forces.

The strut supports the vehicle's automatic height adjustment functions:

• Under heavy load or off-road conditions - enables increased ground clearance for improved obstacle clearance
• At highway speeds - allows the body to lower, reducing aerodynamic drag and lowering the center of gravity for enhanced stability

Designed to original equipment specifications, this strut matches all factory mounting points, air-line interfaces, and electrical connectors. It requires no modifications, brackets, or adapters - simply remove the old unit and install the new one using standard workshop tools. Once fitted, it restores factory-level ride height, load leveling, and damping performance across all driving scenarios.

• Chassis-Specific Fitment - Engineered for the W166 4MATIC platform, accounting for front-axle load and driveline geometry. Not compatible with 2WD or non-AIRMATIC configurations.
• Integrated Air Spring + Damper - Combines load support, vibration absorption, and height management in a single compact assembly.
• Automatic Height Compatibility - Fully supports the vehicle's AIRMATIC height adjustment system for load leveling, off-road clearance, and highway stability.
• Direct Bolt-On Installation - Matches OE mounting points, air-line connectors, and electrical plugs. No cutting, welding, or modifications required.
• Broad Model Coverage - Fits all W166 4MATIC models equipped with AIRMATIC air suspension, including ML-Class, GLE-Class, GL-Class, and GLS-Class of corresponding model years.
