how often does these rear axle bushings go bad on w202?
concerns the bottom arm with 1 bushing.
do I buy single bushing and press it out or is it better to buy complete arms when they go bad?
I guess a lazy mans job at the shop would say it's better to swap complete arm.

my bushings are not worn yet, but I wanna know what to do since I bought new full kit of complete stabilizer arms for rear axle, therefore I also wanted to do something about the lower arms to get full synergy with stifffer new stabilizer arms.

You could take the arms off and replace with something like polybushes, which would come in to parts and make fitting alot easier than having to push them out then replace without a press.

finding polybushings for a Benz is difficult!

these arms are they only getting worn at high mileage?
my car has covered 63500 miles only approx 101000 KM
maybe it's to early for my bushings getting worn since my car is not an everyday car?
