Hello, I have had my CLS 500 almost 2 years now and it is a joy to drive and hands down the best car I have owned. So I thought I would start a member’s thread. Soon after purchasing the car I had a major service and thorough inspection carried out by a local specialist, he gave the car a...

Hello all, I currently own a C270 and just the other day my front strut blew out and leaked oil all over my garage floor. I knew I was in need of new components a few months back, but I figured it may last until summer. My question is whether or not my C270 has different struts and shocks...

At long last managed to get all 4 injectors out using the screw-in puller, which entailed dismantling the injector tops before removing. I think the rocker cover's OK, but the problem I've got is that I have lost two of the tiny steel balls from inside the injectors. I'm going to need to get...

Hi folks Checked the W211 out at the weekend as it's due an MOT next month. Few things wrong at the front, upper/lower ball joints, track control arm, and track rod ends (mixture of wobbly joints & burst gators). Went ahead today and replaced the offending parts, upper ball joints, control...

Hi,as per title can anyone tell me if the smaller suspension parts like the ball joints,tie rods,wishbones are the same for a c43 amg as say other w202,s like a c220 c280 etc. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hello all My 2008 C200 CDI failed the MOT today on : Suspension arm has excessive play in a ball joint offside front lower (rear) [2.4.G.2] Could someone kindly point out which one that is, and whether it is just a bush to be replace or the whole arm ? I can DIY these things, but...

Hi chaps, anyone know a rough price to replace both bottom ball joints in the control arm that connect to the anti roll bar drop links. In my option it should b less than 2 hours labour.

Hi, I have a problem with my 2006 E Class CDi220. When the car is stationary there is excessive movement at the top ball joint and the wheel/tyre is also moving a lot at the top on the passenger side. Something is cluncking when I pull the tyre towards me and the tyre/wheel moves too about...

Hi, not sure if anyone can help me, I need to replace the drivers side ball joint on my 2004 (53 plate) E320 CDi. I was hoping for some advice on this & if possible where best to source parts for this job from. Thanks in advance Chris

Hi folks, just had an advisory on my Mot, there is some play on the upper wishbone/arm ball joint on the front suspension and I dont know if these are available seperately or as a complete arm as with some other manufacturers. Are Euro car parts likely to keep such items? I also noticed some...

MOT advisory states: Slight lift in both lower ball joints - slight play. I've had a quote for the job and the mechanic says that ML55 AMG have an up-rated ball joint because it is a heavy performance car and the genuine Mercedes AMG ball joints are more expensive. Is that right?

I recently swapped the factory detachable tow bar from my old C220CDI W203 Sport Coupé to my W202 CLC350. Unfortunately the rear bumper of the CLC is about 10mm longer than the old car and so the detachable swan neck ball does not adequately clear the bodywork. I understand that Mercedes...

Hi, I am looking for 56 - 09 E320CDI saloon with features such as heated leather, bi-xenon, memory seats, through loading etc. One car I came across has MB service history and not too high mileage - just over 100k. MOT history contains a number of waarying signs of bad ownership such as...

hi guys, quick question, i have been told that my O/S lower ball joint needs replacing on my e320. so i have called around a few places to get quotes for the job and some garages are telling me that i will need to do both sides and others have said just the side that is failing. would...

Seen a lot of posts relating to this subject and I have seen comments like, you need Mercedes specific spring compressors and mecredes specific press tool. So here is the way I did it with the use of my dads expertise and experience. This will come in useful for people like me (I don't like...

Boxed as new no marks or scratches never been used.

Evening All, I have been having a creaking noise from the front of my S Class for a while now and eventually got round to looking at it tonight. It appears it is the lower ball joint which is the culprit (have saw this is a common problem). I cant seem to find a DIY for it - does anyone...
