Second Hand Mercedes-Benz EQS Wishbone

The Mercedes-Benz EQS (V297) launched in 2021 and remains in production, with a facelift introduced for the 2025 model year that brought updates to the front end and interior. For wishbones, the key concern is whether pre-facelift and post-facelift versions share the same suspension geometry and mounting points, and that is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration number before ordering. Running gear can change at facelift points even when the chassis designation stays the same.

Both the 2022 and 2024 EQS sit within the V297 generation, but the 2025 facelift means cars built in late 2024 may already be facelift specification, so the year alone does not tell you which side of the boundary your car falls on. Confirm with the breaker using your full registration so they can cross-reference the exact build specification before they pull the part.

The EQS 580 4MATIC is a heavier, more powerful variant and can have different suspension tuning to handle the additional weight and all-wheel-drive hardware, so wishbones are not guaranteed to be interchangeable with those from the 450+. Side also matters — always specify nearside (NS, passenger side) or offside (OS, driver side) when getting a quote from a breaker. Route the specific part number question to the breaker with your registration to confirm compatibility.

Trim level on the EQS does not in itself change the wishbone that fits, so a part from an AMG Line car is not automatically different from one on a standard 450+ of the same drivetrain and build date. Be aware that some AMG Line or AMG-badged vehicles may carry different suspension components associated with their performance setup rather than purely their trim name, so confirm with the breaker if your car or the donor car has any sport or lowered suspension specification. The cosmetic differences between trims — badging, alloy style — are irrelevant to wishbone fitment.

Yes, nearside (NS) and offside (OS) wishbones are handed on the EQS and are not interchangeable left to right, so always tell the breaker exactly which side you need. Double-check by identifying whether the worn part is on the driver side (OS) or passenger side (NS) before you request a quote.

The EQS uses an air suspension system as standard, and wishbone replacement on this platform requires the geometry to be properly reset afterwards, so a four-wheel alignment on specialist equipment is essential following the job. Because the EQS is a relatively new model, sourcing used wishbones from a breaker is the right route to manage cost, but always confirm the exact specification with the breaker against your registration before purchasing.
