I believe that my W211 rear subframe bushes are on the way out at approximately 180k miles.
There are some banging/fluttering noises from the rear, particularly at slow speeds that I can't account for - bushes look good and I'm confident the exhaust is not hitting the body/subframe. Dampers and springs are around 20k miles old with no visible problems. The car doesn't feel as stable as it once did. crossing motorway tramlines, or even white lines can unsettle it slightly.
Has anyone DIY'd these bushes and can recommend a tool for the job? Alternatively, has anyone had the work done by a garage who can advise on typical costs.
Thanks,
Rich
