Re: Front lower control arm bushings
When replacing the front lower control arm bushings do you have to take the front end apart or can you just drop the two back bolts down and pull the arm down and replace the bushings?

Re: Front lower control arm bushings
The only way to get those bushings out is to completely remove the lower control arm, and you will need a press of some kind. Mercedes has a special tool to remove/replace those bushings. Most people find it easier to replace the entire control arm than mess with the bushings.
What makes you think the bushings need replacement? |
Re: Front lower control arm bushings
in most cases it is more expensive/frustrating/time consuming to try to replace the bushings instead of replacing the entire arm.

Re: Front lower control arm bushings
Yea , here's my take (an i have a press) both bushings (Moog) an a ball joint , about $45. 3 hrs of cussing an fussing or $110 for a good upper arm , an drop it in..dang just buy one...lol ;)
All ready replaced both lower ball joints , easy as pie... haven't got around to those lower bushing though... Think I'll buy those arm too...lol |
