Car Fix DIY Videos

► You might think that rear shocks on your W166 Mercedes don’t matter nearly as much as the fronts, however, that is not the case. The rear shocks on W166 dampen the road’s bumps and are even more important when towing or hauling. Being able to tow over 5000lbs, the added weight at the rear of the SUV severely affects the ride, and the struts keep it under control.

On the Mercedes W166, rear shock replacement is simple as the shock is separate from the spring. With minimal tools and a short amount of time, you can have the rear shocks replaced in your garage or driveway at home. Follow along as Kyle Bascombe, FCP Euro’s Mercedes-Benz Catalog Manager walks us through the step-by-step DIY process.
