SK-3197 is an Arnott remanufactured O.E. rear shock absorber for the left or right side of the 02-09 Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W211) and 2004-2011 CLS-Class w/ADS. The O.E. shock is inspected, steam cleaned, and spin blasted to bare metal before it is recharged with new high performance shock oil. Worn components, such as the piston, rod guides and seal pack are replaced before being repainted with corrosion inhibiting paint. The shock and damping coil are dyno and functionally tested to assure OE performance. Arnott remanufactures and assembles this shock in the USA.
