Purpose and Function of the Part

The mounting bracket in the rear right section of the body is responsible for the stable connection of selected structural components, which directly impacts the geometry and rigidity of this part of the vehicle. A correctly selected and installed part allows for the restoration of factory mounting points, which is particularly important after a collision, bodywork repairs, or replacement of adjacent sub-assemblies.

Original origin from the Mercedes brand means maintaining the correct geometry, hole spacing, and shape of the contact surface, which facilitates installation and reduces the need for additional adjustments during service work.

Vehicle Placement and Fitment

The presented bracket is intended for installation in the rear – right side zone, eliminating the risk of confusion with parts from other sides of the vehicle or the front axle. This unambiguous determination of placement simplifies part selection based on service documentation and bodywork diagrams.

The part belongs to a structural group that works in conjunction with other brackets and mounts within the rear body section. In practice, this means that during accident repairs or restoration of the factory body alignment, it is advisable to pay attention to the consistency of all mounting points in this area.

Using an original bracket for the Mercedes SLK R172 allows for consistency with manufacturer documentation, which is important for repairs compliant with service technology, as well as for subsequent inspections or body geometry measurements.

Selection by OEM Number and Purchase Support
