No two wishbones are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
The GLS name was introduced for the 2016 model year, covering what had previously been called the GL-Class; this first GLS generation (X166) ran from 2016 to 2019. The second generation (X167) launched in 2020 and remains current. When sourcing a used wishbone, confirming which generation you have is the most important starting point, as the two generations are not interchangeable.
These two vehicles sit in different generations — the 2017 is X166 and the 2020 is X167 — and wishbones from one generation will not cross to the other. Always quote your registration to the breaker so they can confirm the exact part against your specific vehicle. Never assume fitment across a generation boundary.
Yes, engine size can matter for suspension components on the GLS because larger, heavier engines can mean different front suspension geometry or uprated parts to manage the additional weight. A 3.0-litre diesel variant and a 4.0-litre V8 petrol, for example, may not share the same wishbone specification. Always confirm your engine size with the breaker alongside your registration to make sure the part matches.
Trim level alone, such as AMG Line versus a standard specification, does not affect wishbone fitment — the suspension pickup points and geometry are determined by the generation and engine, not the trim badge. You may find minor cosmetic differences in the surrounding components, but the wishbone itself should be the same part. Confirm against your registration with the breaker to be certain, particularly if there is any chance your car has a full AMG performance suspension package rather than just AMG Line styling.
Yes, side matters — nearside (NS, kerb side) and offside (OS, driver's side) wishbones are handed and are not interchangeable. Always tell the breaker clearly which side you need, and double-check before the part is dispatched. Getting the side wrong means the part simply will not fit.
The 400d and 350d are different engine variants within the GLS X167 generation, and while both are diesel, differences in engine weight and any associated suspension tuning mean fitment is not guaranteed. Confirm the exact engine code and your registration with the breaker, who can cross-reference the part numbers to check whether the two variants share the same wishbone specification. Do not assume they are identical without that check.
