Exclamation Torsion Bar for 2013 GL500 x166

What country are you from ?

I "think" you're missing at least 2 digits - and might have messed up the sequence on what you have - please recheck with your dealer and post correct/updated part #

Keep the beat !

Putting aside - have no idea what country you are from ?

As best I can tell that specific part# for the hydraulic torsion bar used for GL/GLE that have the Active Curve feature - and yes - it's a pricey beast US MSRP USD$2820

Now -m the "standard" mechanical torsion bar for same rigs - no Active Curve - under different part# is MSRP USD$296.

I "might" be able to re-check for you if you post last 7-digits of your VIN#.

Keep the beat !

Sorry - no access under that VIN# in North American Star - sorry !

The MB dealer there can run "VMI report" which will list the factory options at the top of the sheet - to confirm you have Active Curve.
