    Ball Joint, anti roll bar bushes and track rod ends on 220cdi

    My W203 has only done 84,000 miles yet all of the above have gone. First on the offside and looks like now on the drivers. Is this normal or another example of Mercedes poor build quality?

    W210 lower ball joint replacement

    My 2002 W210 Estate needs a new lower ball joint on the offside front. I've got the part, but it looks a bit tricky to get a ball-joint splitter in there to get the old one off. I'm assuming I'll need to use spring compressors before attempting to remove the joint (as is normally the case)...

    Suspension Ball Joints...

    Right... Not sure where this goes, but as its a suspension issue (I think) I'll put it here. Just came back from the MOT station; wasn't too pleased. While I waited (too long) 2 cars went through, and they both failed. Third time lucky? Not a chance. My lovely gal failed her MOT for the first...

    Checking Bottom Ball Joint Play

    Can anyone give me a method for checking the front suspension ball joint play. I know in the MOT test they raise the front suspension arms by jacking them up with the wheels still on the ground but I'm not sure exactly what they look for? Do you look for movement as you are jacking up or when...

    I thought I would get the "snow" ball rolling

    Blimey what a load of snow. I sailed out of London at 1000hrs today, but got stuck on A2 at Dartford :mad: . The traffic was stop / start and I was in the outside lane, as I was perusing the scenery I noticed how wet and shiney the road looked. Then it dawned on me, it was pure sheet ice I...
