Drivers side ball joint

[ChrisRed63]

Hi,
not sure if anyone can help me, I need to replace the drivers side ball joint on my 2004 (53 plate) E320 CDi.

I was hoping for some advice on this & if possible where best to source parts for this job from.

Thanks in advance

Chris

Which one buddy, upper? Lower or the (torque arm) i did the front lower torque arms on my s211

Not sure on your model but, if it's the lower one you'll need to undo the nut & then look at the notch in the bolt, drift the bolt out & replace in the sam eposition so as to retain the correct camber.

Not on the arms, on the joint if that makes any sense

With the right kit it's easy! Must admit though I could of used 2 pairs of hands when doing it on the drive. Got my ball joint remover off eBay and it's like a large g clamp.
