SLK350 Steering Castor Bushes.

[mark999]

Hi, just had the SLK350 at the local specialist for a check up. They told me the front castor bushes are weak. Just wondering if this is a job best left to the specialist or if my trusted local mechanic could sort it. Also are the bushes available aftermarket or are they Mercedes only?

Thanks,
Mark

They are not tricky to do.

Get them from MB.

Hi, thanks for your help. Is castor bush the correct term when I ask for the parts?

Cheers,

Yes.

Thanks for your help. Last question should I have the wheel alignment check after I have the bushes done?

Cheers,
