W209 CLK240 - Part numbers please

[rich1068]

My CLK will need front suspension arms replacing before the next MOT. My guy has noted "Front lower front arms" as a priority and "Front lower rear arms" as needing doing at some point.

Could anyone help me with part numbers for these items? I've found A2043302011 which maybe what he's referring to as "front lower front" but not sure.

Steering and suspension has always been a bit of a dark art to me.

Did he mean cross arms and thrust arms?

You've got me. He refers to them one way, parts sites this and the other side of the Atlantic refer to them another way.

Have a look at FG 209.375 - STEERING KNUCKLE AND CONTROL ARM > Mercedes EPC Online > nemigaparts.com
This is for my CLK500, but I imagine a CLK230 will be the same.
'80' is the lower front, '160' is the lower rear (both for front suspension). Being a modified McPherson strut, there is no 'upper front' arm.
Note that the numbers given are without the bushes ('bearings' in M-B speak). Parts from e.g. Autodoc come with the bushes ready fitted.

Have same problem with my CLK.
The garage will enter reg or VIN number on part supplier catalogue and will find the correct part.
Just tell the garage you want OEM parts, no Chinese unbranded crap.
