• Secure anchoring of the bumper on the left side,
• Proper distribution of loads acting on the panel,

Its original origin from the Mercedes group promotes compatibility with factory reinforcements, brackets, and other elements of the mounting system.

Used Condition and Benefits of Choosing OEM

The part is offered in used condition, allowing for a reasonable cost while maintaining the manufacturer's specified mounting parameters. Compared to aftermarket alternatives, the original bumper bracket:

• Better replicates the body's shape,
• Reduces the risk of bumper fitment issues,
• Facilitates work for body shops and workshops specializing in the Mercedes brand.

This is a practical solution for post-accident repairs, alignment adjustments, or replacement of damaged mountings without altering the body structure.

Vehicle Placement and Service Application

The presented bracket is intended for installation in the rear section of the vehicle on the left side, as indicated by Rear, Left. This placement makes the part particularly important for:

• Repairs after an impact to the rear left corner,
• Adjusting gaps after bumper replacement,
• Restoring the factory appearance of the vehicle's side and rear lines.

A well-chosen mounting minimizes the risk of bumper deformation and unwanted noises from body components during operation.

Alternative Numbers and Part Identification

The offered bracket has a dedicated OEM part number and associated interchangeable numbers, which facilitates its identification in service catalogs and parts selection systems. This allows a workshop or service center to quickly verify the part's compatibility with a specific equipment version and vehicle year, as well as compare it with other references used within the same platform.
