Rear subframe getting done

[ralpstaa]

HI all,

I've just had my rear subframe of my 2014 E63 estate checked out by Epsom MB. I did this as my MB specialist (SS Motors) recommended them following my MOT where corrosion was written down as an advisory. MB Epsom are replacing the subframe free of charge under goodwill, which I'm super chuffed at. They have booked me in as have the parts available.

The question here is the additional bits to replace while the frame is out. I've heard about new bolts, brake line replacement and bushes. Has anyone done all of those or just get MB to replace the sub frame..?? Would they replace the bushes with normal or leave in the old ones..? Has anyone put in poly bushes to tighten things up even more? Was ride comfort affected by those??

Thanks,

STAN

Good result getting the sub frame replaced FOC.
A real shame a 10 yr old car needs this.
You may find upon dismantling, the dealer finds worn items that you'll probably be asked whether you want replacing "while they are in there "
I doubt Mercedes would fit anything other than OE parts on reassembly.
Glad you are enjoying your E63. Loved mine and still miss it.

If the air springs are original I’d be tempted to replace them at 10 years old - they won’t have long left
