The Stokes Germany Rear Stabilizer Link Rod Set of 2 is a premium aftermarket suspension replacement designed for compatible Mercedes-Benz CLA C117 models requiring OEM cross references A2463200100 / A1763200089. The product is supplied as a set of two rear stabilizer link rods, making it convenient to replace the corresponding rear links together when inspection confirms that the original components have developed wear, looseness or excessive joint movement. These suspension components are commonly called Sway bar links, Sway links, Anti roll link rods and Stabiliser sway links, while some workshops may also describe them as stabilizer rods, coupling rods or drop links. All of these names refer to the same general type of linkage working within the rear stabilizer or anti-roll bar system. During normal driving, the Mercedes-Benz CLA C117 rear suspension continuously responds whenever the vehicle turns, accelerates, brakes, crosses speed breakers, travels through potholes, enters parking ramps or moves over uneven road surfaces. The Sway bar links operate repeatedly with these suspension movements and maintain an important mechanical connection within the stabilizer system. Although these components are relatively small compared with major suspension arms and shock absorbers, their joints operate frequently throughout normal vehicle use. Over extended mileage, repeated suspension movement, vibration, pothole impacts, dirt, moisture and normal ageing can gradually contribute to wear. When the Sway links develop excessive joint clearance, unwanted movement may occur at the stabilizer connection points. Worn Anti roll link rods may then contribute to knocking, tapping, rattling or clunking sounds from the rear suspension, particularly while travelling slowly over rough roads, potholes and speed breakers. The Stokes Germany set is designed to replace worn Stabiliser sway links and renew these specific mechanical connection points within the rear stabilizer system. Supplying the product as a set of two is convenient when both corresponding rear links require replacement during the same suspension repair. New stabilizer links are intended to renew worn mechanical linkage rather than alter the original vehicle ride height or unnecessarily change the factory suspension characteristics of the Mercedes-Benz CLA C117. Correct fitment remains important because suspension specifications can vary according to vehicle configuration. For this reason, A2463200100 / A1763200089 should be verified against the exact vehicle VIN, original component or professional Mercedes-Benz parts information before ordering. When the specified OEM cross references are confirmed for the exact Mercedes-Benz CLA C117 and the existing links are diagnosed as worn, the Stokes Germany Rear Stabilizer Link Rod Set of 2 provides a practical replacement for the corresponding rear Sway bar links, Sway links, Anti roll link rods and Stabiliser sway links.

The rear stabilizer link rods on the Mercedes-Benz CLA C117 provide an important mechanical connection within the rear stabilizer or anti-roll bar system and operate whenever the rear suspension responds to vehicle movement or changing road conditions. In simple words, these Sway bar links connect the relevant stabilizer and suspension points so the stabilizer system can perform its intended function as the rear wheels move. During everyday driving, the left and right rear wheels do not always move in exactly the same way because one wheel may travel through a pothole, cross a speed breaker or move over a rough section while the opposite wheel remains on a smoother road surface. The suspension also responds whenever the CLA C117 turns, changes direction, accelerates or brakes. The Sway links work repeatedly with these movements and maintain the necessary mechanical connection within the stabilizer system. These components may also be called Anti roll link rods, Stabiliser sway links, coupling rods, drop links or stabilizer rods depending on the terminology used by a workshop or parts catalogue. When the links remain in serviceable condition, their joints allow the required suspension movement while maintaining a controlled mechanical connection. Because these joints operate repeatedly during everyday vehicle use, they can gradually develop wear as mileage increases. Potholes, speed breakers, road vibration, rough surfaces, dirt, moisture and normal ageing can all contribute to deterioration. Once excessive clearance develops inside the Sway bar links, their joints may begin moving more than intended. This unwanted movement can contribute to knocking, tapping, rattling or clunking noises from the rear suspension. These sounds may become more noticeable while travelling slowly over broken roads or when one rear wheel moves differently from the opposite wheel. Replacing confirmed worn Sway links restores serviceable linkage at those specific stabilizer connection points. However, rear suspension noise should not automatically be treated as proof that the links have failed because stabilizer bushes, suspension bushes, shock absorbers, mounts, suspension arms and other joints can create similar symptoms. A professional technician should therefore inspect the complete rear suspension before deciding which parts require replacement. Correct parts identification is equally important because visually similar stabilizer links can have different dimensions or applications. A2463200100 / A1763200089 should therefore be checked against the exact Mercedes-Benz CLA C117 before ordering. When the supplied references are confirmed for the vehicle and the original Anti roll link rods are diagnosed as worn, the Stokes Germany set provides two rear Stabiliser sway links for renewing the affected rear stabilizer linkage.

Common symptoms associated with worn rear Sway bar links on the Mercedes-Benz CLA C117 can include knocking, tapping, rattling or clunking noises from the rear suspension, particularly while travelling slowly over potholes, speed breakers, broken roads, road joints, parking ramps or other uneven surfaces. These noises can develop because the joints inside the Sway links move repeatedly whenever the rear suspension compresses or extends during normal driving. When these joints remain in serviceable condition, they allow the necessary suspension movement while maintaining a controlled mechanical connection within the stabilizer or anti-roll bar system. Over extended mileage, repeated suspension movement, road vibration, pothole impacts, dirt, moisture and normal ageing can gradually contribute to deterioration. When excessive clearance develops inside the Anti roll link rods, their joints may begin moving more than intended. A small amount of unwanted movement may initially create a light tapping or rattling noise that can be difficult to notice while travelling on smooth roads. As joint wear becomes greater, the sound may develop into a stronger knocking or clunking noise. Worn Stabiliser sway links can sometimes become particularly noticeable when one rear wheel travels over an uneven section while the opposite wheel remains relatively level because the two sides of the suspension are moving differently. The driver may also notice the sound while crossing a speed breaker diagonally, entering or leaving a parking ramp, or travelling over repeated small road imperfections. However, these symptoms should not automatically be treated as confirmation that the Sway bar links are the only components requiring attention. Several other rear suspension parts on the Mercedes-Benz CLA C117 can produce similar sounds, including stabilizer bushes, suspension bushes, shock absorbers, mounts and other suspension joints. A professional technician should physically inspect the Sway links for excessive joint movement, looseness, deterioration or damaged joint protection. If one rear link has substantial wear, the corresponding component on the opposite side should also be inspected because both generally experience similar vehicle mileage and road conditions. When A2463200100 / A1763200089 are confirmed for the exact Mercedes-Benz CLA C117 and excessive play is found in the existing links, the Stokes Germany set provides two replacement rear stabilizer links. Replacing confirmed worn Sway bar links, Sway links, Anti roll link rods or Stabiliser sway links removes excessive movement from those specific stabilizer connection points and can help restore quieter rear suspension operation when worn links are genuinely responsible for the unwanted noise.

Replacing the rear Sway links as a set of two can be a practical maintenance approach when both corresponding components on the Mercedes-Benz CLA C117 are worn because both Sway bar links operate within the same rear stabilizer system and generally experience similar mileage, age and road conditions. Every time the CLA C117 turns, travels through a pothole, crosses a speed breaker, enters a parking ramp or moves over an uneven road surface, the rear suspension responds and the Anti roll link rods operate with this movement. Because both Stabiliser sway links perform the same general function throughout the vehicle's service life, they may develop wear over a similar period. However, this does not mean that both components will always wear at exactly the same rate because one side can experience stronger pothole impacts, greater road contamination or different operating loads than the other side. When one Sway link has developed significant joint play, looseness or deterioration after considerable mileage, inspecting the corresponding component on the opposite side is therefore sensible workshop practice. The Stokes Germany product is supplied as a set of two rear stabilizer link rods, making it convenient to renew both components during the same repair when inspection confirms that both require replacement. Installing serviceable Sway bar links at both corresponding rear stabilizer connection points avoids leaving one heavily used link alongside a newly installed component when both old links are already worn. This can also reduce the possibility of another workshop visit shortly afterward if the remaining old Sway link starts producing similar knocking, tapping, rattling or clunking noises. However, supplying the product as a set of two does not mean that a serviceable suspension component must automatically be replaced without inspection. A technician should inspect both Sway links individually and determine their actual mechanical condition. Stabilizer bushes, suspension bushes, shock absorbers, mounts and surrounding suspension components should also be examined because replacing the Anti roll link rods cannot correct unrelated suspension wear. Correct component identification is equally important, so A2463200100 / A1763200089 should be checked against the exact Mercedes-Benz CLA C117 VIN, original component or professional parts information before installation. When the supplied OEM cross references are confirmed and both original links require replacement, the Stokes Germany set provides two corresponding rear Stabiliser sway links for renewing the rear stabilizer linkage during the same suspension repair.

A2463200100 is a documented rear stabilizer-link reference associated with compatible Mercedes-Benz CLA C117 applications, while the additional A1763200089 reference supplied in this Stokes Germany product title should be verified against the exact vehicle VIN, original component or manufacturer interchange information before being treated as a universal equivalent for every CLA C117 configuration. This distinction is important because Mercedes-Benz uses many closely related suspension part numbers across the C117 CLA, W176 A-Class, W246 B-Class and X156 GLA platforms, and part numbers that appear very similar can correspond to different positions, production revisions or suspension specifications. For compatible CLA C117 applications, A2463200100 is associated with the rear stabilizer linkage and can be used as an important reference when identifying the correct replacement component. The link may be described as a Sway bar link, Sway link, Anti roll link rod, Stabiliser sway link, coupling rod, drop link or stabilizer rod depending on the terminology used by the manufacturer or workshop. The terminology itself does not determine compatibility because the OEM reference, mounting specification and exact vehicle configuration are more important. The additional A1763200089 number in the supplied product data should therefore remain exactly as provided while its interchange relationship is checked against the individual vehicle. Customers should avoid ordering a replacement link only because it looks similar to the existing component because Mercedes-Benz compact-platform stabilizer links can have similar external appearances while differing in dimensions, joint design, thread specification, mounting arrangement or installation position. VIN-based identification provides a much stronger final confirmation. If the number on the original link remains readable, it should also be compared directly with the supplied references before installation. A professional technician can additionally inspect the dimensions and mounting points to confirm the application. Correct parts identification should also be separated from mechanical diagnosis because even when the OEM number matches, a knocking or rattling sound from the rear suspension does not automatically prove that the Sway bar links have failed. Stabilizer bushes, suspension bushes, shock absorbers, mounts and other suspension joints can produce similar symptoms. The existing Anti roll link rods should therefore be inspected for excessive joint movement, looseness or deterioration. In simple words, A2463200100 has strong relevance as a rear stabilizer-link reference for compatible Mercedes-Benz CLA C117 applications, while A1763200089 should remain the additional supplied cross reference and receive exact vehicle or manufacturer verification before an unconditional OE-equivalence claim is made. Once A2463200100 / A1763200089 are confirmed for the individual CLA C117, the Stokes Germany set provides two corresponding rear Sway bar links, Sway links, Anti roll link rods or Stabiliser sway links for replacement.

Replacing worn rear Anti roll link rods on a compatible Mercedes-Benz CLA C117 can help restore serviceable mechanical connections within the rear stabilizer system when the original components have developed excessive joint play, looseness, deterioration or physical damage. The rear stabilizer system operates whenever the suspension responds to vehicle movement and changing road conditions. Every time the CLA C117 turns, crosses a speed breaker, travels through a pothole, enters a parking ramp or passes over an uneven road, the rear suspension moves and the Sway bar links operate with this movement. When these links remain in serviceable mechanical condition, their joints allow the required suspension movement while maintaining a controlled connection within the stabilizer or anti-roll bar system. After extended mileage, repeated suspension movement, vibration, pothole impacts, dirt, moisture and normal ageing can gradually contribute to wear inside the Sway links. Once excessive clearance develops, the joints may begin moving more than intended. This unwanted movement may contribute to knocking, tapping, rattling or clunking sounds from the rear suspension, particularly while travelling slowly over potholes, speed breakers and broken roads. Replacing confirmed worn Stabiliser sway links removes excessive play from those specific connection points and restores serviceable linkage within the stabilizer system. The purpose of replacement is not to alter the original ride height of the Mercedes-Benz CLA C117, make the suspension unnecessarily hard or fundamentally change the vehicle's factory suspension characteristics. New Sway bar links simply replace worn mechanical linkage so the existing stabilizer system can continue operating through serviceable components. The Stokes Germany product is supplied as a set of two rear links, making it convenient to renew the corresponding Sway links when inspection confirms that both components require replacement. During installation, the workshop should also inspect stabilizer bushes, suspension bushes, shock absorbers, mounts and surrounding suspension components because replacing the Anti roll link rods cannot correct noise or looseness caused by another worn part. Correct fitment should additionally be established before installation by checking A2463200100 / A1763200089 against the exact vehicle VIN, original components or professional Mercedes-Benz parts information. When the supplied references are confirmed for the exact Mercedes-Benz CLA C117 and the existing links are diagnosed as worn, replacing them with the Stokes Germany set can restore serviceable rear Stabiliser sway links, remove excessive movement from the affected stabilizer connection points and support quieter and more controlled operation of the rear suspension system.

The rear stabilizer link rods on the Mercedes-Benz CLA C117 should be inspected when you start hearing unusual knocking, tapping, rattling or clunking noises from the rear suspension, especially while driving slowly over potholes, speed breakers, broken roads, parking ramps or uneven surfaces. These Sway bar links work every time the rear suspension moves and form an important connection within the stabilizer or anti-roll bar system. When the CLA C117 turns, brakes, accelerates or travels over an uneven road, the rear wheels and suspension move continuously. The Sway links move with this suspension action and help maintain the required connection with the stabilizer system. Over time, the joints inside the Anti roll link rods can gradually wear because of repeated movement, road vibration, pothole impacts, water, dirt and normal ageing. There is no single fixed mileage at which every Mercedes-Benz CLA C117 must have its Stabiliser sway links replaced because their service life depends heavily on road conditions and vehicle usage. A vehicle that regularly travels on rough city roads, large speed breakers and potholes can place considerably more repeated stress on these components than a vehicle mainly driven on smooth roads. When wear begins, a small amount of joint clearance may first create a light tapping or rattling sound. As the joint becomes progressively looser, this sound may develop into a more noticeable knocking or clunking noise. The sound can be particularly noticeable when one rear wheel crosses an uneven section while the other remains on a relatively smooth surface. Other possible signs can include excessive movement found during a suspension inspection or visible deterioration around the link joints. However, these symptoms should not automatically be treated as proof that the rear Sway bar links have failed. Stabilizer bushes, suspension bushes, shock absorbers, mounts and other suspension components can produce similar noises. The correct approach is to have the rear suspension physically inspected and identify the component that actually has excessive movement. If one Sway link is badly worn, the corresponding link on the opposite side should also be checked because both normally experience similar mileage and operating conditions. A2463200100 is catalogued for compatible CLA C117 rear applications, with aftermarket fitment data showing the CLA Coupe C117 and both rear positions. The Stokes Germany set contains two rear links, so when both existing components are worn, the pair can be replaced during the same repair. Correct OEM matching should still be completed before installation. When A2463200100 / the applicable confirmed reference matches the exact CLA C117, replacing worn Sway bar links, Sway links, Anti roll link rods or Stabiliser sway links can renew the affected stabilizer connection points and help restore quieter suspension operation.

Yes, worn rear Sway bar links can cause or contribute to knocking, tapping, rattling or clunking noises from the rear suspension of the Mercedes-Benz CLA C117, particularly when the vehicle is driven over potholes, speed breakers, rough roads, parking ramps or other uneven surfaces. These sounds can occur because each Sway link contains joints that move repeatedly as the rear suspension compresses and extends. When these joints are in serviceable condition, they allow the necessary movement while maintaining a controlled connection within the stabilizer or anti-roll bar system. After extended vehicle use, however, repeated suspension movement, road vibration, impacts, moisture, dirt and normal mechanical wear can gradually increase the clearance inside the joints. When an Anti roll link rod becomes loose, its joint may move more than it should as the suspension changes position. That unwanted movement can produce a light tapping or rattling sound during the early stages of wear. If the wear continues, the noise may become stronger and sound like a knock or clunk. The sound can often be easier to notice at lower speeds because other road and engine noises are reduced. It may also become more noticeable when the CLA C117 crosses a speed breaker diagonally or when only one rear wheel travels through a pothole. This does not mean that every rear knocking noise comes from the Stabiliser sway links. Rear stabilizer bushes, shock absorbers, mounts, suspension bushes and other joints can create very similar noises. Therefore, replacing the Sway links without inspecting the suspension can result in unnecessary parts replacement while the actual source of the noise remains. A technician should physically inspect both rear links and check for excessive movement or deterioration around their joints. The surrounding stabilizer and suspension components should be checked at the same time. Mercedes-Benz A2463200100 is listed as a rear stabilizer-link reference, and one genuine-parts listing specifically shows CLA250 C117 applications while identifying previous revisions A2463200489 and A2463200789. Your existing JK Automotive product listing also identifies the Stokes Germany set for Mercedes-Benz CLA Coupe C117 2013–2019 with A2463200100 / A1763200089 as the supplied OEM cross reference. When the exact vehicle application is confirmed and excessive joint play is found, replacing the worn Sway bar links, Sway links, Anti roll link rods or Stabiliser sway links can remove unwanted movement from those specific stabilizer connection points and may eliminate the associated knocking or rattling noise.

A2463200100 has clear support as a rear stabilizer-link reference for compatible Mercedes-Benz CLA C117 applications, while A1763200089 should be verified against the exact vehicle VIN or the Stokes Germany manufacturer's interchange information before being described as a universal Mercedes-Benz OE equivalent for every C117. The evidence for A2463200100 is considerably stronger. Aftermarket fitment information lists Mercedes-Benz OE references 2463200100 and A2463200100 for a rear stabilizer link and specifically includes the CLA Coupe C117 among compatible vehicles. The same catalogue specifies rear-left and rear-right installation and includes several C117 versions such as CLA 180, CLA 200, CLA 220, CLA 250 and CLA 45 AMG variants depending on year and specification. Another genuine Mercedes-Benz parts listing identifies A2463200100 as a rear stabilizer link and shows fitment on CLA250 C117 vehicles, while also identifying A2463200489 and A2463200789 as previous revisions. This is useful because it shows that Mercedes-Benz stabilizer-link references can change or supersede during the production life of a vehicle. An independent suspension catalogue for the CLA C117 provides even more detail: it identifies 2463200089 / 2463200689 as front stabilizer-link references, 2463200489 as a rear link for non-sport applications, and 2463200789 / 2463200100 as a rear link for Sport Edition applications. This means fitment can depend on the exact suspension specification rather than simply the C117 chassis code. Your JK Automotive catalogue currently lists the Stokes Germany product specifically as “Rear Stabilizer Link Rod Set of 2 for Mercedes-Benz CLA C117 A2463200100 / A1763200089,” with CLA Coupe C117 2013–2019 compatibility. Therefore, the supplied Stokes Germany cross-reference can remain in your product listing, but VIN verification is advisable before making a universal fitment statement. Customers should not identify these Sway bar links only by their appearance because visually similar Sway links can have different lengths, threads, mounting specifications and suspension applications. The exact vehicle suspension specification is especially important because catalogue evidence distinguishes standard/non-sport and Sport Edition rear links on the C117. In simple words, A2463200100 is supported as a Mercedes-Benz CLA C117 rear Anti roll link rod reference for compatible applications, while A1763200089 should be treated as your supplied additional cross reference and confirmed through VIN or Stokes Germany interchange data. Once the correct reference is established for the individual vehicle, the Stokes Germany set provides two rear Sway bar links, Sway links, Anti roll link rods or Stabiliser sway links for the corresponding application.

Replacing the rear Anti roll link rods as a set of two can be a sensible maintenance approach when both corresponding links on the Mercedes-Benz CLA C117 are worn because both components operate within the same rear stabilizer system and normally experience similar vehicle mileage, age and road conditions. Every time the CLA C117 turns, crosses a speed breaker, passes through a pothole or travels over an uneven road, the rear suspension moves and the Sway bar links operate with that movement. Both rear Sway links perform the same basic function, so over many kilometres they experience repeated suspension movement and road vibration. This means that when one link has become badly worn after substantial mileage, the component on the opposite side may also have experienced significant wear. It does not mean that both links always fail at exactly the same time. One side can deteriorate faster because it has experienced stronger pothole impacts, greater contamination or different road loads. For this reason, both links should be physically inspected rather than automatically replaced based only on age. When both Anti roll link rods show excessive joint movement, looseness or deterioration, replacing them together provides serviceable components at both corresponding stabilizer connection points. This avoids installing one new link while leaving another heavily used and already worn component in service. It may also reduce the possibility of returning to the workshop shortly afterward because the remaining old link begins producing knocking, tapping, rattling or clunking noises. The Stokes Germany product is supplied as a set of two for this reason, providing a convenient pair when both rear links require attention. For A2463200100, aftermarket data specifically identifies both rear-left and rear-right fitting positions, supporting the use of corresponding links on the two rear sides where this reference matches the vehicle specification. However, correct suspension specification remains important. C117 catalogue data distinguishes between different rear-link references for non-sport and Sport Edition configurations, with A2463200100 associated with the latter alongside A2463200789 in one technical catalogue. Therefore, the VIN or original part reference should be checked before ordering. Replacing two Sway bar links will also not repair unrelated wear in stabilizer bushes, shock absorbers, mounts or suspension bushes, so those components should be inspected during the same repair. When the correct application is confirmed and both original links are worn, installing the Stokes Germany rear Sway links, Anti roll link rods or Stabiliser sway links provides a convenient way to renew both corresponding stabilizer connection points.

Stokes Germany provides an aftermarket replacement option for Mercedes-Benz CLA C117 owners and professional workshops looking for rear stabilizer links for the specified application, while Lemförder, FEBI Bilstein, Meyle and other established brands are well-known alternatives in the European steering and suspension market. When comparing these products, customers should first confirm the exact vehicle application because correct fitment is more important than choosing a component only by its brand name. For compatible Mercedes-Benz CLA C117 applications, A2463200100 has clear support as a rear stabilizer-link reference, and aftermarket catalogue data lists the C117 among compatible models while specifying both rear-left and rear-right fitting positions. The C117 also has different suspension configurations, so correct matching is important. One technical catalogue identifies A2463200489 for a rear non-sport application and A2463200789 / A2463200100 for a rear Sport Edition application. When customers compare Stokes Germany with Lemförder, FEBI, Meyle or other established manufacturers, they should consider correct dimensions, joint construction, materials, manufacturing consistency, fitment accuracy, durability, warranty support, availability and overall value. Whether the product is called a Sway bar link, Sway link, Anti roll link rod, Stabiliser sway link, coupling rod or stabilizer link, it must match the required suspension specification and maintain a serviceable mechanical connection within the anti-roll bar system. Automotive component supply chains can involve production facilities in Germany, Poland, Turkey, England and other manufacturing regions, depending on the manufacturer and product family. However, claims that Stokes Germany and Lemförder, FEBI, Meyle or another brand use exactly the same factory or production line for this specific CLA C117 stabilizer link should only be published when there is product-specific documentation supporting that claim. The strongest customer-facing comparison is therefore based on the actual component specification, correct OEM cross-reference, manufacturing quality control, warranty coverage and value. Your JK Automotive catalogue currently identifies this Stokes Germany product for Mercedes-Benz CLA Coupe C117 2013–2019 and supplies A2463200100 / A1763200089 as the OEM cross reference. Since independent catalogue evidence strongly supports A2463200100 for compatible C117 rear applications, while A1763200089 is less consistently documented, the latter should be confirmed through Stokes Germany's manufacturer interchange information or the exact vehicle VIN. Once compatibility is established, the Stokes Germany set can be considered alongside established aftermarket brands as a replacement option for Mercedes-Benz CLA C117 rear Sway bar links, Sway links, Anti roll link rods and Stabiliser sway links, with the final purchase decision based on correct fitment, product specification, warranty, availability and overall value.
