C180 W203 front Arms

[ChrisP77]

It seems the front suspension bush has gone on my C180 its covered in oil and vibration over bumps. Also the other side has been squeeking for about 12months think its the ball joint on arm, not the anti roll bar checked those bushes.

Had a look at the Lemforder are these still best, also wheres the best place for the full set of 4 as euro car parts looking near £350. Anyone on here do a better deal.

The only way you will get cheaper is buy reducing the quality, a set of four suspension arms will be quite a lot.

Loads of sources that are cheaper than eurocraparts for Lemforder (and other OEM suspects) including their own alias carparts4less most of the time and genuine parts from MB some of the time

Pages 75 & 76 of this thread explain one way of getting both the MB and lemforder part numbers as well as the names of several different suppliers who all work with both MB and manufacturer part numbers instead of their own inhouse numbers to make it harder to compare prices http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/part...much-does-fit-ask-your-questions-here-76.html

Random c180 control arm from ECP...



In their current [cough] sale [/cough] they're a touch cheaper* than a genuine part from MB Mercedes-Benz Parts, Inchcape and waaaaaaaaay more expensive than a Lemforder 29633 bought from various other sources. Note that postage is usually extra unless you spend x amount rather than free included in the price of every single part as with ECP/CP4L

* provided you use click & collect or mail order. Walk in off the street without the right "discount" codes and they're more expensive than MB
