The Bilstein B4 shock absorber for the Mercedes-Benz C-Class (W205) 4MATIC, Bilstein part number 24-277846, for the rear of the car.
B4 is the OE replacement damper. It puts the car back to the damping it left the factory with, at standard ride height and on standard springs.
This is a Damptronic damper, so the electronic damping control on the car carries on working. It plugs into the original wiring and the setting you choose from the driver’s seat still does what it did before, with Bilstein damping underneath it instead of the original.
This is the one to fit when the original dampers are tired and the car is staying standard.

About Bilstein
Bilstein have been building dampers in Germany since 1873 and put the first gas-pressure shock absorber into production in 1954. The monotube design that came out of that work is still what separates a Bilstein from a cheap replacement, because the gas and the oil stay separated and the damping does not fade as the damper heats up.
