ML Shocks The Same As GLE?

Are the gas shocks on the ML the same as on the GLE? If the GLE was improved, do they ride better (less floaty)? 85,000 miles on my ML350 and it feels bouncy. Anyone replace the shocks with new OEM sachs and was it a night and day difference?

2017 GLE350 4MATIC
New shocks always make a difference. If your question is, will new shocks be noticeable, the answer is yes. How much difference is subjective. I ran OEM shocks on a VW Touareg for 238k miles. Yes, they needed to be replaced, but it wasn't absolutely mandatory.

Are you referring to air suspension? Or steel spring suspension?

For a 2014 ML350 4MATIC V6 gasoline:
- front non-air suspension shock part no. 166-323-24-00 price each $268

For a 2017 GLE350 4MATIC V6 gasoline:
- front non-air suspension shock part no. 166-323-24-00 price each $268

Information above from mercedesbenzstarparts.com. Please confirm with your local dealer that the parts are the same part number. I did not check the rears, but you can check on the same website.
