Hi everybody. I have a 2004 Automatic Coupe with damage on the rear suspension. Mi left side lower control arm is bent and some of the little arms are rusted/looking ugly. The car is running but obviously I'm experimenting uneven tire wear.

I'm looking towards fixing it and found these:

One says for manual transmission. Are there any differences between manual and automatic (suspension-wise)?

And found this one for the right side::

This one is for an SRT6. Since I wanna refresh both sides of my suspension I'm looking for the right side control arms too. I only found em for the SRT6, so my question is: Will they fit on my Automatic NA?

Thank you for your time.

 

I just looked at the control arms on my srt and NA and they are exactly the same............no diff for auto and manual

 

Yup they will. I got my set from these guys and rebuilt the entire rear link system. They are all OEM supplier parts (know that the links cross over to several Mercedes models and years so they might not be the very latest generation but meet the spec for use). The only thing I had issue was with one of the plastic covers on the lower link as the new link was wider to add stiffness. Lower control arms can be found for about 60.00 each new.

I have replaced all the links with swedge bars and end links so the 4 links are fully adjustable. Nothing was worn out just wanted the adjust ability.

 

Hi, thaks for your awnswers. I ended up buying the lower control arms used from Mercedes cars. I didn't know the suspension parts were compatible among so many models, as Infinity says.

Hope with this stuff I can get my suspension straight, since it looks really ugly. I will post pictures when I receive the "new" (used) parts and when the old ones are removed.

 

Well, received the new parts and the feel sturdy, they were cheap but look good quality. Got them installed along with the lower control arms (used). I havent had the time to take pics, I will post them later. Most of the old arms were "ok", but the ones with the ball joint surely look bad. I'm glad they're gone.

It turned out that the crossmember is damaged too.The guy at the workshop told me that he had a hard time trying to make all the arms fit, since the crossmember was bent too.

Now I'm looking for a crossmember, and I have a question. Will a crossmember from any model/year fit as long as it is R170 platform? I've read the R170 derived from the W202 and seen suspnsion parts from C-Class cars been claimed to fit the SLK320.

I've found these three part numbers that are supposed to fit an SLK320.
