lower

Hi, Can anyone tell me if the bushes in the front lower arm of a W208 CLK (320) are replaceable? or is a complete lower arm replacement required or reccomended? Is either a long or hard job to replace? Thanks Dave

Help again please, My lovely car (C180 Elegance 1996) just failed MOT on both sides lower suspension arm having excessive play in a ball joint. Is this something major and can I possibly do it myself (the mechanic who did my MOT is going on holiday and won't be able to fit the car within 10...

Got a flyer from MB yesterday - "7 reasons to service your 3 year + car at MB" It suggests that dealers now sell MB recommended tyres at the same price as discount places and also sell "economy" tyres. The flyer was from the MB dealership that includes Blackburn etc. At some stage I'll get a...

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)...

I have a good pair of W124 lower front arms which i removed from my car for sale. I had previously bought another set needing bush and balljoint replacement, so i could put the new bushes and balljoints in these to avoid the car being off the road for no longer than necessary. I'm looking at...

Hi guys, I have a stock E240 Avantgarde (W211) and want to lower the front, I have noticed manyof them around which seem lower at the front, whereas my one seems to be same height all the way round. I do NOT have the airmatic suspension so as assuming it is the standard sport suspension as...

My W210 T Model (E220 CDI Avantgarde), first registered December 2001 and now due its second MOT. Having completed 47740 (genuine) miles since new, full MBSH, last service at 43531 (July 2005); I thought this car would easily make its MOT. :eek: I was rather surprised (and a little...

I'm just posting to find out if anyone has experience of replacing the lower ball joint/ wishbone suspension arm on a W124. Mine snapped in a pub car park about 200 miles from home. (The suspension and steering had started to groan about 100 miles into the journey). I've left the car and got...

Has anyone used the lower ball joints/suspention parts that GSF sell? I’ve just fitted one of their steering dampers (sachs) and am thinking about replacing the lower ball joints and a few other suspension bits. The reasons I am thinking of changing the parts are the car has always had a few...

Hi all, Just about to order the parts to lower my car (2000 S202 C200 Elegance) just a bit so I can finally fit my 17" alloys. I'm certainly not after a slammed look. I've pretty much decided on the springs. I'm going with the Eibach Pro-Kit (model 2546.140 - no self levelling if anyone is...

Hi I need to change a couple of bulbs in the instrument cluster. From an earlier post I have learnt how to remove the actual cluster by pushing it out from behind, however i can find out how you remove the lower part of the dashboard to get to the back of the cluster. Regards Tan...

This mod is for a W208 CLK, but other "pre-facelift" Mercedes might be similar, but I have heard that some facelift car bumper "lowers" dont fit the pre-facelift bumpers. ie SLK etc. But good for me, the CLK parts are fully compatible!! Allow a good 4 hours total for the work! If you...
