Second Hand Mercedes-Benz EQE Suspension Leg

Yes, the EQE uses MacPherson-style suspension struts (suspension legs) at the front axle, so this is a genuine part on the car. The rear uses a multi-link setup, so if you need a rear suspension leg you may actually be looking for a rear shock absorber or damper unit instead. Make sure you know which end of the car you need before requesting quotes from a breaker.

The EQE is a first-generation model that entered production in 2022, and as of 2025 it remains within that single generation with no confirmed major facelift that would alter suspension leg specifications. Because the EQE is relatively new and generation boundaries are still developing, it is sensible to give your exact registration to the breaker so they can confirm the part matches your build date rather than assuming all 2022-onwards cars are identical.

The EQE range spans significantly different power outputs — from the 300 through to the twin-motor AMG variants — and heavier or more powerful variants may use different spring and damper rates or uprated strut assemblies. For the basic strut housing the fitment may be shared across some variants, but you should confirm the specific motor variant and output against your registration with the breaker before purchasing. Never assume a suspension leg from a lower-output EQE will be a direct swap on a higher-output or AMG model.

Trim level alone, such as Sport or AMG Line, does not fundamentally change the suspension leg specification in the way that drivetrain or motor output can. However, you should be aware that AMG Line and higher trims sometimes include lowered or sport-tuned suspension, and whether a specific spring or damper rate variant was fitted to your car is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration. The strut itself may look the same, but do not assume rates are identical across trim levels.

Yes, this matters — suspension legs are handed, meaning the nearside (left, passenger side in the UK) and offside (right, driver side) are not interchangeable. Always specify NS or OS clearly when contacting a breaker, and double-check the side before the part is dispatched to avoid a wasted return.

No — right-hand-drive and left-hand-drive EQEs are mirror-image layouts, meaning the nearside and offside are reversed between the two, and parts from one will not correctly fit the other. UK breakers will typically be breaking right-hand-drive cars, which is what you need for a UK-registered EQE. Always confirm the steering configuration with the breaker if there is any doubt about the donor vehicle's origin.
