Good day to you all,
A few weeks ago I had to have my C280 (w202) brought home on a recovery truck after the immobiliser decided to freeze...there are no visible towing hooks/eyes on my car as it has the body kit fitted..it was fitted when I bought it 7yrs ago and never noticed the towing hooks...
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.
i have an e350 cdi and the inner tie rods have some play in them and need replacing i went to euro car parts and was going to get lemforder but they don't seem to stock them atm so all they have are these Ocap Axial Rod / Tie Rod are they OK to use

I'm about to change all of the steering joints (Tie rods, drag link, idler bush and damper) on my w124, and prefer to use Lemforder.
Looking at the ZF webcat, and a few online shops it seems Lemforder only make the left hand Tie rod.
Is there any reason the same part couldnt be used on both...
I've had the tie rod s and track rods changed on my 203 ML today and the garage called me to say they didn't come with the locking nuts just normal ones. All of the different types I've seen online are supplied with normal nuts - are the locking nuts required and if so what are the ones supplied...
I'm getting both front inner and outer tie/track rods fitted at the weekend and a full geometry set up done front and back because the existing ones are seized solid and the alignment needs doing. I'm supplying the parts and the same place who are doing the geometry set up are doing the rest of...
Hello all,
I read somewhere that if one replaces the tie rods (left and right) and the drag link (parts A1243300803, A1243300903 and A1244601205 on my old 300CE-24 Sportline), it is possible to avoid re-aligning the car afterwards. This is done by setting the length of the new parts to...

Hi all,
I will be doing my rear tie rods in the morning and just wanted some info on how to really.
I have never had to do these before but I'm fairly confident that it's not that hard.
Any info would be greatly appreciated
The car is a 2005 c220 cdi w203 sport edition
Over the last couple months, I've put in new shocks, new lower ball joints, steering shock, new LCA bushings as part of a suspension overhaul and it has been good so far. The car has been much more stable on smooth roads, but there was still some very prominent shaking in the steering wheel...
Hello,
I need to change a tie rod on the E300TD, what is the spanner size needed for the end that goes into the steering rack? Or is there some other tools instead of a spanner that I can use to un-screw it?
Cheers.

If anyone was in Leicester on Saturday... apologies about the noise as my brother ferried the newly weds around.
Sorry about crap phone pic.
The 500SL was also used on the day..
The title says it all.
While fettling my front brakes on the E300TD, I've noticed what appears to be excessive play in the inboard tie rod ball joint on the driver's side.
Is this a common problem ?
So far, I have not removed the boot.
Is there lube in there ?
Is this adjustable ?
Do they...
I know a split steering gaiter is but what about the tie rod end rubber boot on the ball joint ? Can't find it mentioned in the regulations...
