Castor arm bushes...

[Carrsey]

Popped into MB this morning for a little job and they did their normal check over and said i need "castor arm bushes". Had a look on EuroCarParts and ebay and cant find anything. Do these go by another name or are they a MB purchase only..

Would castor be one of these upper or lower arms, if it is i take it its a full arm job not just the bush..

Its the aluminuim arm that holds the castor bushes.

You can get the bushes from MB or the whole arm from Euro. Only buy Lemforder.

Cheers mate can you just confirm from the links in post 1 if its the upper or lower arm that is the castor.

Ah right.

Basically euro parts list an upper arm and a lower arm. Which both look very similar. Just wondering is the castor arm upper or lower as the other will be camber.

Lower is steel with the thread pointing up, upper is aluminium with thread pointing down, replace the arm complete, if you do the bushes and the ball joint fails at a later date you will wish you had done the complete arm.
