Application and function in the vehicle

The presented trunk spring is a component of the lid support and guidance system in Mercedes E-Class W213 and CLS C257 models. It is responsible for:

• assisting in lifting the trunk lid,
• damping the movement when closing,
• maintaining a stable open position,
• uniform operation of the mechanism on both sides of the vehicle.

Thanks to the possibility of mounting on the right or left side, the component facilitates service for both single and complete replacement of the trunk springs.

Benefits of using an original Mercedes part

The original trunk lid spring ensures factory fitment to the bodywork and proper cooperation with hinges and the lock. The correct force and stroke characteristics are maintained, which translates into:

• repeatable, predictable trunk lid operation throughout the full opening range,
• reduced load on hinges and mounts,
• increased comfort of daily trunk usage.

The used OEM component is also a reasonable compromise between cost and quality, especially for maintenance repairs in a few-year-old vehicle.

Installation and fitment

The spring is structurally prepared for installation in factory mounting points on the right or left side of the lid. In practice, this means:

• no need for body or hinge modifications,
• preservation of the original opening and closing geometry,
• possibility of replacing a single element in case of one-sided wear.

When selecting the part, it is worth verifying compatibility with the specific W213 or C257 body version to maintain the proper operating parameters of the entire mechanism.
