Precision OE Replacement Suspension Restored for the Mercedes-Benz CLA250
The Bilstein 22-230942 is the direct-replacement B4 twintube front right strut assembly for the 2014-2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA250. When the original strut begins to show its age through vague steering response, increased body roll, or the characteristic clunking of a worn strut bearing, the Bilstein 22-230942 restores the composed, controlled ride character the CLA was engineered to deliver. This is not a budget remanufactured part: Bilstein builds the 22-230942 as a new-manufacture unit to OEM tolerances, using the same quality standard Bilstein applies to the struts it supplies as original equipment to Mercedes-Benz production lines. Installation is a direct exchange, and no modification to the surrounding suspension geometry is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Bilstein 22-230942?The Bilstein 22-230942 is the B4 OE Replacement twintube front right strut assembly for the 2014-2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA250. It is a new-manufacture direct replacement unit built to OEM tolerances and engineered to restore factory handling characteristics without modification.
Does the Bilstein 22-230942 fit the left side as well?No. The 22-230942 is the front right strut only. Bilstein offers a separate part number for the front left strut on the 2014-2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA250. Always confirm left and right part numbers before ordering a pair.
Is the Bilstein 22-230942 a remanufactured part?No. The Bilstein 22-230942 is a new-manufacture strut assembly, not a remanufactured or rebuilt unit. Bilstein produces it to the same manufacturing standards used in original equipment production.
Will the Bilstein 22-230942 require a wheel alignment after installation?Yes. Any front strut replacement on the 2014-2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 should be followed by a professional four-wheel alignment to restore factory caster, camber, and toe settings. This applies regardless of which strut brand is installed.
Does the Bilstein 22-230942 fit the CLA45 AMG?The 22-230942 is specified for the CLA250. The CLA45 AMG has a different suspension geometry and may use a different strut specification. Confirm fitment via Bilstein's official fitment guide or a Mercedes-Benz dealer before ordering for an AMG model.
What is twintube construction on the Bilstein B4?Twintube construction uses an inner pressure tube and an outer reserve tube, allowing damping fluid to cycle between chambers. This design provides consistent damping characteristics across the full range of suspension travel and is well-suited to OEM replacement applications where factory ride quality is the priority.
Is the Bilstein 22-230942 compatible with the CLA250 AMG Sport suspension package?Confirm compatibility by checking your specific CLA250 VIN option codes. The AMG Sport package may use a different spring rate or strut mounting specification. If your CLA250 was optioned with the AMG Sport package, verify the correct replacement strut part number for your exact build.
What is the warranty on the Bilstein 22-230942?Bilstein provides a limited warranty on the 22-230942. Contact Bilstein directly or your installer for specific warranty terms and claim procedures applicable to your purchase.
