Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wishbone Replacement Parts

The W211 ran from 2002 to 2009 and the W212 from 2009 to 2016, so these are separate generations with different front suspension geometry — a W211 wishbone will not cross over to a W212. Always quote both the donor and recipient registration to the breaker so they can confirm the exact part.

The W212 received a facelift in 2013, and while the underlying platform carried over, suspension pick-up point dimensions can vary across that boundary. Name the facelift year and both registrations when you contact the breaker, and let them confirm interchange against your specific VIN rather than assuming it fits.

Engine size can influence suspension specification on the E-Class because heavier or more powerful variants sometimes carry uprated running gear, so a wishbone from an E220d may not be a direct match for an E350. Confirm the engine code and registration of both vehicles with the breaker before purchasing.

Trim level alone — whether Avantgarde, SE, Sport, or AMG Line — does not affect wishbone fitment on the E-Class; what matters is the generation, the specific engine variant, and critically which side you need (nearside or offside). Be aware that AMG Line models may have had optional sport suspension fitted, so confirm the suspension specification against your registration with the breaker rather than assuming trim decides it.

Yes, nearside (left, kerb side) and offside (right, driver side) wishbones are handed and are not interchangeable, so always state NS or OS clearly when requesting a quote. Getting this wrong is one of the most common ordering mistakes, so double-check by looking at which side of the car needs the part before contacting the breaker.

The W213 launched in 2016 and is a completely new generation compared with the W212 (2009–2016), with redesigned suspension architecture, so the two are not interchangeable. Quote your exact registration to the breaker and ensure they are sourcing from a W213 donor if that is what your car requires.
