1673203901 167 Mercedes-Benz GLE Class Rear Left Right Air Spring New
Product Overview

High Load-Bearing, OE Specification Air Spring (Air Bag) For Mercedes-Benz 167 Rear Left and Rear Right Positions (Air Spring Only, Without Shock Absorber Core, Universal for Left and Right)

Specifications
Vehicle Application Mercedes-Benz GLE (V167 / C167, 2019-present)
Installation Position Rear Left / Rear Right (Universal - same part fits both left and right sides)
Component Type Air Spring (Air Bag Only, Must Be Used with Original or New Shock Absorber Core)
Product Description

This air spring is designed for the rear air suspension system of the Mercedes-Benz 167 chassis, with the same part number fitting both rear left and rear right positions. This product is an air spring only and does not include a shock absorber core. It is suitable for repair scenarios where the original rear shock absorber core is still fully functional but the air spring has aged, cracked, or failed.

As Mercedes-Benz's next-generation mid-to-large luxury SUV, the 167 chassis GLE incorporates more intelligent elements into its rear air suspension design, working with the E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL system for more precise body control. The rear air spring handles load-bearing and height adjustment tasks at the rear of the vehicle, maintaining body level, filtering road impacts transmitted through the rear wheels, and automatically adjusting body height under different driving modes.

Constructed with high-strength rubber composite material and aluminum alloy upper/lower mounts, this air spring works in coordination with the rear shock absorber core, stabilizer bar and height sensor to form the rear portion of the Mercedes-Benz AIRMATIC air suspension system. This product features automatic self-leveling functionality.

The Mercedes-Benz 167 chassis was launched in 2019 as the fourth generation of the GLE family. Rear air spring failure is a common repair item on this model, especially as vehicles age or accumulate higher mileage. This product is manufactured to original equipment structural dimensions, with air bag diameter, upper and lower mounting hole positions, air line connector specifications, and seal ring dimensions all consistent with original factory specifications, allowing direct replacement of the old air spring without any modifications. The same part fits both left and right sides.

Key Features
  • Independent Air Spring (No Shock Absorber Core): Designed for scenarios where the shock absorber core is intact and only the air spring has failed, reducing repair costs
  • Universal Left/Right Fitment: Same part fits both rear left and rear right positions; no need to distinguish direction during installation, simplifying inventory
  • High Load-Bearing Design: Multi-layer reinforced rubber construction, adapted to the GLE mid-to-large SUV's heavy load conditions
  • Reliable Sealing: Original specification seal rings and crimping process reduce slow leak risk
  • Height Responsive: Air spring stroke range matches original height sensor specifications, ensuring proper body lift/lower functionality
  • Factory Tested: Each unit undergoes high-pressure air tightness testing and load cycle verification
Important Note

⚠️ This product is suitable for the Mercedes-Benz 167 chassis GLE (V167 / C167, 2019-present), including GLE350, GLE450, GLE580 and other powertrain versions. The 167 chassis rear air spring is universal for left and right sides - the same part fits either side. Differences may exist between different model years and configurations. Please verify the original OE part number or VIN code before purchasing. This product is an air spring only and does not include a shock absorber core; installation requires use with the original or a new shock absorber core. It is recommended to replace both rear left and rear right air springs as a pair for balanced suspension performance. The 167 chassis rear air spring is not interchangeable with the earlier 166 chassis. Please confirm your chassis code before purchasing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How can I tell whether the Mercedes-Benz 167 rear air spring is already damaged?
Common signs of damage include: the rear axle noticeably sinking after the vehicle sits overnight (one side or both), the air compressor running frequently after starting (every few minutes), a "hissing" noise from the rear wheels when going over bumps, and an "AIRMATIC Malfunction" or "Suspension System Unavailable" warning on the dashboard. The 167 chassis GLE is relatively newer, but air spring aging can still occur on high-mileage vehicles. A simple self-check method: after stopping the vehicle and turning off the engine, spray soapy water on the air spring surface and observe if bubbles appear.
Q2: Are the 167 rear left and rear right air springs interchangeable?
Yes, they are interchangeable. The 167 chassis rear air spring is designed to be completely symmetrical for left and right sides, with the same part fitting both rear left and rear right positions - no need to distinguish direction. One part fits either side. If replacing both sides simultaneously, simply purchase two of the same part.
Q3: Is it acceptable to replace only the air spring and keep the old shock absorber core?
Yes, they can be used together, but two conditions must be met: First, the original shock absorber core must be in good condition - no oil leakage, no damping degradation, no abnormal noise. Second, the shock absorber core should generally have no more than 100,000 km of service. The 167 chassis rear shock absorber core uses newer oil seal technology and has a longer service life, but if it has exceeded 120,000 km, simultaneous replacement is recommended. The combination of new and old components will not affect the air spring's operation, but degraded damping from the aged shock absorber core will affect the GLE's ride comfort.
Q4: After replacing the air spring, the instrument panel shows an "AIRMATIC Malfunction" warning, but the vehicle drives normally. What is the cause?
This situation is usually not a problem with the air spring itself, but rather the air suspension system has not been reset after installation. After replacing rear air springs on a Mercedes-Benz 167, a diagnostic tool (such as XENTRY or a compatible device) is required to perform "level calibration" and "component learning" on the AIRMATIC system. The E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL system (if equipped) on the 167 chassis requires additional calibration steps, so it is recommended to use a professional diagnostic tool. Even if the air spring is physically installed correctly, the system may still report an error due to height sensor zero-point offset. It is recommended to connect a diagnostic tool after installation, clear the fault codes, and perform rear axle height initialization.
Q5: Is the 167 rear air spring suitable for different powertrain versions (GLE350/GLE450/GLE580)?
Yes, it is suitable. The rear air spring structure is the same for different powertrain versions, with identical mounting dimensions. The load capacity of the air spring covers all powertrain versions. The GLE580 has a V8 engine and is slightly heavier, but the air spring design accounts for this and can be used without issue. When purchasing, you only need to confirm that your vehicle is the 167 chassis.
Q6: What accessories are recommended to replace at the same time as the rear air spring?
It is recommended to replace the following accessories simultaneously: the air spring upper cap seal ring (may deform after removal), the air line connector clamp (original clamp loses clamping force after removal), and the buffer pad between the air spring and shock absorber core (may harden after long-term compression). In addition, check the rear axle height sensor link for integrity and check whether the compressor dryer is saturated. The 167 chassis compressor dryer typically has a service life of 5-6 years, so it is recommended to inspect it as well.
Q7: After replacing the air spring, the rear axle feels stiffer or bumpier than before. Is this normal?
Yes, this is normal. Old air springs may have hardened rubber and reduced elasticity even before leaking. New air springs restore factory elasticity, which may initially feel firmer as the filtering effect improves. The GLE factory rear axle tuning is biased toward comfort, so the "stiffer" feel of the new air spring will not be too pronounced. Typically, after driving 300-500 km, the air spring will gradually adapt to the vehicle load and the ride feel will become normal. If the rear axle still feels noticeably bumpy after more than 800 km, check whether the installation is correct or whether the correct model was matched.
Q8: There is a "creaking" or "squeaking" noise from the rear wheel area while driving after air spring replacement. What is the cause?
This type of noise requires careful diagnosis on the 167 chassis. Common causes include: 1) The bolts connecting the air spring upper cap to the body are not tightened to the specified torque; 2) The buffer pad between the air spring and shock absorber core is installed incorrectly or missing; 3) The rear stabilizer bar link ball joint is aged, producing noise when working with the new air spring; 4) The height sensor link was bent or stuck during installation; 5) The parking brake cable is pinched between the air spring and the body during installation. The 167 chassis rear axle space is relatively tight, so extra attention should be paid to accessory positioning during installation. It is recommended to first check bolt torque and the buffer pad, then inspect other accessories if the noise persists.
Q9: Is a wheel alignment (chassis angle calibration) necessary after replacing the Mercedes-Benz 167 rear air spring?
Rear axle alignment is recommended. The 167 chassis GLE rear suspension is a multi-link design. Replacing the air spring involves changes in rear axle ride height, and the installation process may involve disconnecting the lower control arm from the subframe, which can affect rear wheel toe and camber after installation. Common consequences of skipping wheel alignment include: uneven rear tire wear and unstable rear end at high speeds. It is recommended to drive 30-50 km after replacement to allow the suspension to settle naturally before performing a rear wheel alignment.
Q10: Is the 167 rear air spring suitable for the earlier 166 chassis ML/GLE?
No, it is not suitable. The 166 chassis is the ML/GLE produced from 2012-2019, with a completely different rear air spring structure, mounting dimensions, and air line connector. Parts are not interchangeable with the 167. Before purchasing, please confirm that your vehicle is the 167 chassis (2019-present), which can be verified via VIN code or vehicle registration information.
Q11: Why does the air compressor run frequently after replacing the rear air spring?
If the air compressor still runs frequently after installing a new air spring, possible causes include: 1) Height calibration has not been performed, and the system is still operating based on the old air spring height parameters; 2) The compressor dryer is saturated, affecting inflation efficiency; 3) The compressor itself is aged, slowing down inflation speed; 4) The air spring still has a leak after installation (air line connector or seal ring issue); 5) The distribution valve has an internal leak. The 167 chassis compressor dryer typically has a service life of 5-6 years. It is recommended to first perform height calibration using a diagnostic tool. If the problem persists, check the compressor dryer and distribution valve condition.
Q12: Should the 167 rear air springs be replaced as a pair?
Replacing as a pair is recommended. Although it is possible to replace only the damaged side, both air springs have been in service for the same number of years and have similar rubber aging. Failure on one side often indicates the other side is also near the end of its service life. Replacing as a pair avoids the other side failing in the short term and ensures balanced left-right suspension support, maintaining the GLE's expected driving stability and comfort. If you plan to keep the vehicle for more than 2 years, replacing as a pair is a more economical choice.
Q13: Is the 167 rear air spring compatible with the E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL system?
Yes, it is compatible. This product is manufactured to original equipment specifications and supports the Mercedes-Benz E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL active body control system. For vehicles equipped with this system, additional system calibration is required after air spring replacement using a diagnostic tool to ensure proper road scanning and active body adjustment functionality. If your vehicle is equipped with this system, it is recommended to have installation and calibration performed by professional service personnel.
