wishbones

Hi I noticed if you order the Lemforder wishbones for a W124 you get a selection of nuts and a bolt with it. Could someone tell me what these are for? I'm guessing the bolt and one nut is to replace the ones on the ball joint, two others are for the anti roll bar but that still leaves two...

Hello I've just picked up a pair of Febi wishbones for my S124. Had a good read through a few posts here about these and decided that I'd replace them at 130k miles as a precautionary measure. Don't like the idea of an adrift front wheel! This post from WDB124066...

Has anyone had any experience with pattern lower wish bones on thier W210? I'm guessing the downside will be larger tolerances which will affect alignment and handling, lighter materials and weaker bushing material affecting wear and handling. Or am I wrong? I've been quoted £124.ea new ones...

My 56 plate S211 is about to hit 100k miles, and I think it is time to put some new front bushes and drop links on her. Can anyone tell me what parts need replacing and if you have part numbers that would be great. It doesn't feel like it really needs doing, but from experience when a...

Hi All, Not unlike many other W202 owners I have today been handed an MOT Failure Sheet due to failure on the Front lower wishbone rear bushes (excessive movement blahdy blahdy blah). Now as the new arms/ labour is going to cost a bomb and I was considering lowering the car anyway, I know the...

hi has anyone ever painted their exhaust pipes? has anyone ever painted their wishbones? (and other similar black items) i'm going to waxoil the underside of my SL before its put back on the road and would also like to tackle the above items at the same time. i read high temp paint is...

Hi, I've noticed a noise appearing from the driver's side front wheel area on my manual 2.5-16, it sounds like a squeeking/squeal type sound which is more noticable when steering. I haven't driven the car for a couple of weeks, jacked it up to have a very quick look but I haven't got...

Well guys, i thought id share my findings in getting my wishbones replaced! was hearing a crunching noise when stickng the car in reverse and braking, that was just the wishbone metal and ball joint moving and giving way. well, went to the stealership and was quoted the following 197...
