Show original supplier description
This used OEM Mercedes-Benz intake camshaft, part number 2720505301, serves as the left-side inlet cam for a range of Mercedes-Benz 3.0-5.5L V6 and V8 engines, including both gas and diesel variants. Also known as the intake cam or camshaft (inlet), its primary function is to precisely control the timing of the intake valves. Symptoms of a worn camshaft can include a rough idle, engine misfires, or the illumination of the check engine light. This camshaft is compatible with numerous Mercedes-Benz models from 2005 to 2013. Specific fitments include various configurations of the C350, CLK350, E350, GLK350, ML350, R350, and SLK350. It is important to check your specific vehicle before ordering, as some model years may have different trims or engines that require different parts. Refer to the full variant list or message the seller with your VIN to confirm exact compatibility.
