This BSG (60-300-025) front shock absorber is produced for one of the most comfortable vehicles in Mercedes-Benz history, the S-Class W126 (1979-1991), also known as the "Whale Body." It is an ideal spare part to restore the characteristic "floating" comfort of the W126. Thanks to its gas type technology, it offers a comfortable ride while preventing excessive body roll in corners, thus enhancing road grip.
- Directional Design: This product can be installed on both the front right and front left sides. The same part is used for both sides.
- Comfort-Oriented: It has damping stiffness in accordance with S-Class standards. It does not transmit bumps and road irregularities to the cabin.
- Economic Solution: Compared to high-cost original parts, it offers the best price/performance ratio.
- Wide Compatibility: It fits all engine options with W126 chassis, such as 280SE, 300SE, 380SE, 420SE, 500SE, and 560SEL.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I replace it individually? Technically it is possible, but not recommended. Shock absorbers should be replaced in pairs (Right and Left at the same time). If one is new and the other is old, the vehicle's balance will be disrupted, braking distance will increase, and steering control will decrease.
Does it fit C126 (SEC) Coupe models? Yes. The front shock absorber structure is the same for W126 Sedan (SE/SEL) and C126 Coupe (SEC) models. You can also use it in your 500SEC or 560SEC vehicles.
My car bounces a lot, is it the shock absorber? If the vehicle cannot stop swaying while driving on the road and is rocking like a cradle, the shock absorbers are likely blown. If the vehicle is very stiff and thumping, the shock absorbers may be locked. In both cases, replacement is necessary.
