A while ago I side-swiped a curb and it left my right rear wheel pointed in just slightly towards the body of the car. I've been to just about every mechanic in my town (searcy, AR) and have been told that there's a bar that's bent, but no one can give me a name for the bar or an item number as it's a "dealership only" part. The Chrysler dealer in town has told me that they won't work on mine, being out of warranty and a Mercedes, mechanically. Anyone had similar problems or advice? It's an '04 with about 130,000 miles on it, stock.

 

Are we talking left/right or top/bottom or a bent wheel ?
If it's top/bottom, then you will need an adjustable camber arm.
If it's left/right, then the toe in is out and you need the toe in adjusted, if there is enough adjustment left. If not then you'll need the front locator link.

see 2-10 and 2-11 in the SRT service manual ( from the link below )

BTW, welcome to the forum !

 

It is definitely left/right. Thanks for the info, I'll check out the manuals once I get home to a computer.

 

"If not then you'll need the front locator link."
Did you possibly mean lateral link? Because if so, I found one for 8 dollars and I've been stressing about this for a while, and that's hilarious.

 

If the lateral link is the one with the toe in adjustment, then yes.
There's so many friggin links to that suspension I can't keep up with the names.
I DO know that the top one is the camber link, cause I replaced mine with adjustable ones.

 

A picture is worth a thousand words so here is the parts manual for the 2004 car. Look for the part you have damaged and you will see the name and Chrysler part number. But only buy the Mercedes equivalent part when you can as it will be much cheaper.
Always, always buy the Mercedes part, Chrysler just goes to Mercedes, buys the part and sells it to you at a highly marked up price.
