Mercedes X156 Rear Bootlid Tailgate Hinge Right O/S A1567401700

Mercedes X156 Rear Bootlid Tailgate Hinge Right O/S is an original body component designed for the rear section of the vehicle on the passenger side. Thanks to its factory-spec geometry and robust construction, it ensures stable tailgate guidance, precise opening and closing, and proper alignment with the vehicle body, which is essential for both user comfort and the durability of the entire tailgate. This solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs or replacing a worn-out hinge.

Purpose and vehicle placement

The presented hinge is dedicated to the rear tailgate of the Mercedes X156 body and is mounted on the right side of the rear of the vehicle. It is responsible for guiding the tailgate relative to the bodywork, bearing loads during opening, and maintaining the correct geometry of the gaps between the tailgate, fenders, and bumper.

Precise fitment to the specific side of the vehicle reduces the risk of stress, squeaking, or improper closing, which is crucial for maintaining the tightness of the trunk and the correct operation of the lock and gas struts.

Construction and technical characteristics

The tailgate hinge in this model has been designed as a component that works in conjunction with the gas strut system, the lock, and the tailgate panel. The construction is based on:

• rigid mounting to the body, ensuring stable support for the tailgate,
• precisely selected pivot points that allow for smooth movement of the tailgate along a set trajectory,
• geometry matched to the lines of the X156 body, which facilitates gap setting and adjustment.

As a result, the hinge works with other elements from the Gas struts, locks, hinges, and other parts group, creating a cohesive system responsible for the trouble-free operation of the tailgate.

Condition, origin, and benefits of installation

The item comes from dismantling and is offered as a used original component, which in practice means maintaining factory assembly specifications and compatibility with the Mercedes X156 body. Compared to aftermarket replacements, this reduces the time required for fitting, adjustment, and potential bodywork or paint corrections.

Choosing a used OEM hinge is also a real cost saving for repairs while maintaining high manufacturing quality. For workshops and private users, this means a favorable price-to-durability ratio and the ability to restore the proper operation of the tailgate without interfering with the body structure.

Application in repairs and upgrades

Installation of this hinge is particularly recommended in situations where there has been:

• mechanical damage to the tailgate (e.g., after a rear collision),
• bending or wear of the factory hinge causing the tailgate to sag or misalign,
• problems with closing, the tailgate rubbing against the body, or trunk leakage.

A properly selected hinge allows for the restoration of the correct body line, facilitates lock adjustment and cooperation with gas struts, and also reduces the loads acting on the tailgate panel and mounting points.

Complementary elements from the same group

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the rear body zone in your Mercedes and need other elements from the same group, such as additional hinges, tailgate locks, or support struts, check the available parts in the Gas struts, locks, hinges, and other parts Mercedes category.

Why choose used body components

Using used, original body components is not only a saving but also support for sustainable vehicle operation. In the case of hinges, locks, or gas struts, reusing functional parts helps reduce waste and the demand for new raw materials.
