I am in the middle of doing the job of replacing a rear sub frame bush. The accepted method is to remove the bolts from both bushes on the same side and then the sub frame will drop allowing access to remove the (front ) bush.
I have removed the two bolts from the bushes, but the frame will...
At my last service (start of month) they advised that caster arm bushed NSF and OSF have both split and require replacing. I have now noticed a creaky/knocking noise from front. Could the noise be these?

I'm just about to tackle the wishbone bushes on my C220D, groan!

Hi all,
Another wheel alignment question!
I've just finished replacing the control arm suspension bushes (aka front lower wishbone), front lower ball joints and steering damper on my 96k 1998 C280 Estate which I've owned from new (freeing the lower ball joints was a major pain - another story)...
Hi,
is this liable to be related? Just had the front torque strut bushes replaced and when driving today I felt that the steering wheel was sightly off centre to the left. Car not pulling left I just felt that the steering wheel was off centre to drive in a straight line. Does this sound...
Like the perch, it seems the sealant acted as a water retention, creating pockets of water that stays and rust the frame...
Is this as bad as I think? Or its a "norm"?
As Olly asked me once about the clunk I got , look at the rear subframes bushes, the bushes look OK to me, but the attachement not.
due to the substancial milage on my 300d the rear axle is causing problems when driving. i know the rear bushes that join subframe to chassis are cold done and looks like a big enough job to replace, has anyone done this or have any tips to ease the job at hand?my plan was to drop the axle out...

hi
In relation to my squeeking when turning on rear passenger side around corners (see thread HERE), after inspection it appears the bushes look pretty worn. This is confirmed by ensuring that the metal dust shield isnt toucing the wheel or disc when jacked up but squeeks as you put load on...
