Bilstein 22-003614 is a B4 OE Replacement front strut assembly built to restore factory ride quality and handling on the W124 chassis. The twintube damper runs fixed OE calibrated valving with no external adjustment, measures 18.37 in (466.5 mm) collapsed and 25.00 in (635.0 mm) extended, and locates on a special lower mount with a stem at the top. It is a bare damper, so no spring, boot or spring seat is included, and one part number covers either side of the axle. Bilstein sells this damper individually and the vehicle takes two.
