Mercedes-Benz rear axle assembly – GLE / GLS W167

Genuine Mercedes-Benz GLE / GLS W167 Complete Rear Axle Assembly – Including Air Suspension, Differential & Driveshaft

Complete, Tested Rear Axle Assembly for GLE & GLS W167 Models – Direct OEM Replacement for Complex Repairs.

This is a complete, genuine Mercedes-Benz rear axle assembly (Pont arrière complet) salvaged from a 2020 Mercedes GLS W167 400d. The unit is sold fully assembled, including the rear differential (carrier), AIRMATIC air suspension components (air bags, valves, sensors), driveshaft section (stolsdemfer/prop shaft), control arms, hub carriers, and brake shields. This complete “bolt-on” solution is ideal for severe collision repair, catastrophic air suspension failure, or driveline refurbishment, offering immense labor and parts cost savings compared to sourcing individual components.

Core Component Specification & Interchange:

• Source Vehicle: 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS W167 400d (7-Seater).

• Differential Interchange: This complete rear axle assembly contains the rear differential unit suitable for multiple GLE/GLS W167 engines. This includes applications for the GLE 300d, GLE 350d, and GLE/GLS 350 Petrol Hybrid (450h) models, as verified by Mercedes-Benz electronic parts catalogs. Essential for AWD (4MATIC) functionality.

• Key Feature: Complete AIRMATIC Suspension. Includes both rear air struts (suspension pneumatique), level sensors, air lines, and valve blocks as removed. A critical, cost-effective solution for air suspension system replacement.

Condition & Provenance:
This assembly is a used, original Mercedes-Benz part sourced via Stolsdemfer Bremen, a renowned German salvage specialist, ensuring traceable quality. The unit is complete, unmodified, and was fully operational upon removal. All major components—differential, driveshaft couplings, air springs—show no signs of leakage or damage. The assembly is offered as-is, ideal for professional workshops equipped to inspect, refurbish seals as needed, and install.

What’s Included (As Pictured):

• Complete rear subframe with mounts.

• Factory rear differential (pumpkin/carrier) for stated models.

• Integrated AIRMATIC air suspension struts & hardware.

• Driveshaft (propeller shaft) rear section.

• Control arms, toe links, and hub carriers.

• Electronic stability control (ESC) sensor brackets.

• Brake dust shields and parking brake cabling (calipers/disks NOT included unless specified).

Critical Fitment Note:
This assembly fits Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class (W167) and GLS-Class (X167) SUVs from 2019-2023. While the core differential fits multiple engines, electronic integration is crucial. The AIRMATIC system and differential may require coding/calibration using Mercedes-Benz XENTRY or compatible diagnostic systems to match the recipient vehicle’s software. Professional installation is mandatory.

Why Buy a Complete OEM Assembly?

• Guaranteed Component Compatibility: All parts are designed to work together, eliminating fitment guesswork.

• Dramatic Labor Savings: Replaces dozens of individual part numbers in one installed unit.

• Preserves Factory Engineering: Maintains the exact geometry, ride quality, and performance of your luxury SUV.

• Cost-Effective Major Repair: The most efficient solution for repairing rear-end damage or systemic air suspension failure.
