Mercedes Strut Bellow - Bilstein 11-101406

Product Information

A suspension strut bellows is a protective cover located on a vehicle's suspension strut or shock. It surrounds the shock shaft to protect it from dirt, debris, and moisture. This component helps prevent contaminants from damaging the strut shaft and seals, which could otherwise reduce the lifespan and performance of the suspension system. The bellows work with a bump stop to prevent damage from excessive suspension travel.

• Visible Cracks or Tears: The most apparent symptom of strut bellows failure is visible cracking, tearing, or splitting of the rubber or plastic material. This exposes the strut to potential contaminants
• Dirt or Debris on the Strut Shaft: If the bellows are compromised, dirt, moisture, and road grime can accumulate on the strut shaft, potentially causing rust or abrasions.
