• compliance with factory mounting points,
• easier repositioning of the dashboard after repair,
• the ability to recreate the original cockpit line without additional modifications.

The product belongs to the Axles group, highlighting its significance as a structural component working with the front of the vehicle and the support system. The weight specified in the technical data facilitates installation planning and the selection of appropriate mounting methods during workshop operations.

Product Characteristics and Service Application

The offered crossmember is a used part, making it an attractive solution for economical vehicle repairs while maintaining original structural specifications. It is particularly suitable for situations where:

• replacement of a damaged crossmember is necessary after a frontal or side collision in the cockpit area,
• an interior swap is being performed between vehicles of the same generation,
• the workshop aims to preserve the factory dashboard mounting system.

By retaining its original geometry, the crossmember allows for precise reconstruction of the interior's structural layout, which is important for both driver ergonomics and the proper functioning of elements attached to the dashboard.

Vehicle Integration and User Benefits

The dashboard crossmember designed for Mercedes W176 and C117 models is engineered for full integration with the body and other structural elements of the vehicle's front end. For the user and workshop, this means:
