Fitment on a used rear cross member varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
No – the W163 (1997–2005) and W164 (2005–2011) are completely different generations built on different platforms, so the rear cross member does not carry over between them. Always source a part from the same generation as your vehicle. Confirm the exact year range with the breaker against your registration to make sure you get the right one.
The W164 ran from 2005 to 2011 with a facelift arriving in 2008, but the underlying platform and body structure did not change at that point. The rear cross member is a structural chassis component rather than a cosmetic panel, so it is generally the same part across the W164's production run – however, confirm this with the breaker against both registration numbers before purchasing, as mid-generation pressing changes can occasionally affect structural parts.
No, trim and engine choice make no difference to rear cross member fitment on the ML – the part is determined by generation and platform, not by what is under the bonnet. An ML320 CDI and an ML500 on the same platform share the same rear cross member, so you can safely ignore engine or trim badges when sourcing. Confirm generation match with the breaker against your registration to be sure.
No – the W166 (2011–2019) is a separate generation from the W164 (2005–2011) and the two are not structurally interchangeable. Always match the part to your specific generation. Confirm which generation your vehicle belongs to with the breaker using your registration number before agreeing a quote.
No – trim levels such as SE, Sport, and AMG Line do not affect the rear cross member; this is a structural platform component and is identical across trim grades within the same generation. You may find minor cosmetic or finish differences on parts pulled from different spec vehicles, but the fitment itself is trim-independent. Match generation and confirm with the breaker against your registration, and you are sourcing correctly.
Both 2007 and 2010 fall within the W164 generation (2005–2011), with the mid-life facelift arriving in 2008, so in principle these vehicles share the same platform and body structure. The rear cross member should be interchangeable across those years, but because mid-generation pressing changes are possible, you should confirm part compatibility with the breaker by providing both registration numbers before buying.
