Tenneco’s Innovative MCx Valving Technology to Debut on Premium Sedan

The fourth generation Mercedes-Benz C-Class will be the first vehicle to feature its newly-introduced Monroe OE Solutions® MCx valving system.

Integrated with Monroe OE Solutions® monotube dampers, the new valve features independent, parallel flow paths that accommodate all piston velocities allowing customers to tune the optimal compromise between comfort and dynamic control.

The valve also offers open-bleed tuning capability, establishing two additional tuning parameters in rebound and compression for superior rolling comfort and the elimination of ultra-low-velocity vibrations which can be caused by uneven or cracked pavement and wheel and tire imperfections.
