Mercedes-Benz EQS Suspension Leg Replacement Parts

Yes, the EQS uses MacPherson-style strut suspension legs at the front axle, so the part genuinely exists on this model. The EQS was introduced in 2021 as a dedicated all-electric saloon built on the EVA2 platform, and all variants share this front suspension layout. If you were searching for a rear suspension leg, note that the EQS uses a multi-link rear setup rather than struts, so what you may need at the rear is a different component — confirm the exact part name with the breaker against your registration.

The EQS (Z297 body) launched in 2021 and has remained in its first generation throughout, with no full model-generation change to date, so parts from across that production run are broadly from the same platform. That said, Mercedes did introduce a mild facelift update around 2024, and whether suspension components interchange across that boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration. Never assume fitment based on year alone without a breaker cross-referencing the part numbers.

On electric vehicles like the EQS, the equivalent of 'engine size' is the motor output and drivetrain configuration, and these can influence suspension tuning and component specification because heavier, more powerful variants place greater loads on the running gear. The EQS 580 4MATIC is heavier and more powerful than the EQS 450+, which may mean differences in strut specification, and the 4MATIC variants also carry all-wheel-drive hardware that affects the overall weight distribution. You should confirm with the breaker that the suspension leg they have matches your specific variant by checking against your registration plate.

Trim level alone — for example AMG Line versus the standard specification — does not fundamentally determine suspension leg fitment in the way that drivetrain or power output can. However, whether any sport or adaptive suspension variants fitted to certain trim levels use a different strut specification is something you should confirm with the breaker rather than assume, as this is not always obvious from the trim name alone. You may also find cosmetic differences in the area around the strut top mount depending on specification, but these do not affect the core leg fitment.

The EQS was sold in right-hand-drive form in the UK, and the suspension legs themselves — being nearside and offside components rather than left-hand-drive or right-hand-drive specific — are not typically affected by the steering orientation in the way that a steering rack would be. What does matter is which side you need: the nearside (passenger side, left) and offside (driver side, right) legs are mirror-image parts and are not interchangeable with each other. Always specify to the breaker which side you need and confirm the part number matches your registration.

No — the EQS SUV (X296) and the EQS saloon (Z297) are distinct models built on related but differently packaged versions of the EVA2 platform, with different body structures, weights, and suspension geometry. Suspension legs from the SUV are very unlikely to be a direct fit for the saloon, and mixing parts between these two vehicles is not something a breaker would normally recommend. Always make clear to the breaker whether you have the saloon or the SUV, and have them cross-reference the part against your registration.
