OE 1633500113 — Ball Joint for Mercedes-Benz

A supersession happens when the maker revises a ball joint and issues a new tail number. The revision normally changes a small physical detail rather than the fit. Where we know a supersession chain for 1633500113 we list the current reference; ask our desk for written confirmation before a large order.

Incoming batches pass a dimensional check, a material look-up against the suspension, steering & brake specification, and a visual inspection for finish defects. Critical dimensions are measured per carton and the photographs are archived against the order number.

Stock references leave Guangzhou within 7 working days. If 1633500113 needs a production run, allow 25-35 days depending on quantity and surface treatment. The schedule is confirmed in writing when the order is placed.

Four variables explain most of the spread: material grade, whether the goods are new production or clearance stock, packing format, and whether the quote is ex-works or landed. Ask for the material certificate alongside the price — that is what makes a comparison like-for-like.

Position depends on the platform. On most Mercedes-Benz applications the ball joint sits on the suspension, steering & brake assembly and can be reached from the engine bay or the underbody without removing the dashboard. Torque figures and disassembly order are given in the workshop manual for each model.

Three checks: the code printed on your old part must read 1633500113; the number must fall inside the build-year range in the Applications table; and the connector, thread or bolt pattern must match the reference photo. Codes cast into the housing are the most reliable source.
