Fitment questions

What generations did the Mercedes-Benz ML come in, and does this affect which bonnet strut I need?

The ML was produced across three generations: the W163 (1997–2005), the W164 (2005–2011), and the W166 (2011–2019). The bonnet strut is generation-specific, so you must match your car to the correct generation — a W163 strut will not fit a W164 or W166. Use your registration to confirm which generation you have before approaching a breaker.

Will a bonnet strut from a pre-facelift W164 ML fit my post-facelift W164?

The W164 received a facelift in 2008, which updated the front-end styling including the bonnet, lights and grille. The bonnet itself may or may not have changed between the pre- and post-facelift W164, which affects whether the strut mounting points are identical — confirm this with the breaker against your specific registration before purchasing.

Does the engine or drivetrain affect which bonnet strut I need on a Mercedes ML?

No — bonnet struts are part of the front-end bodywork and are shared across all engine variants and drivetrain layouts within a generation. Whether your ML is a diesel, petrol, or AMG variant, the strut fitment is determined by generation and facelift period only.

Will an ML350 bonnet strut fit my ML250 or ML63 AMG?

Yes, trim and engine level do not affect bonnet strut fitment on the ML — the strut is determined by the generation (W163, W164, or W166) and facelift period, not by whether the car is a base model or an AMG variant. You may notice cosmetic differences on the bonnet itself if comparing AMG and non-AMG versions, but the strut mounting is not affected by trim level.

Can I use a W163 ML bonnet strut on a W164 ML?

No — the W163 (1997–2005) and W164 (2005–2011) are entirely different platforms with different bonnet designs, so the struts are not interchangeable. Always source a strut specifically matching your generation, and quote your registration to your breaker so they can confirm the exact part.

Does the year of my W166 ML matter when buying a used bonnet strut?

The W166 ran from 2011 to 2019 and received a facelift in 2015, which updated the front end. It is possible that the bonnet or its strut attachment points differ across this facelift boundary, so if you are sourcing from a W166 of a different facelift period to your own, confirm with the breaker against your registration before committing to a purchase.
