Re: [diesel_mercedes] Control arm bushings

 

You will regret using aftermarket bushings, especially in a heavy car like a W140.

Subject: [diesel_mercedes] Control arm bushings

 
I have this job to do on my 140 500S and need some information and good advice.

Where to buy the parts bushings ect. OEM or will aftermarket do?
Will any coil spring tool work?
I guess that I should have asked this first is this a DIY job or
should I go to a mec. to do the work.
Is there a write up somewhere on how to do the control arm bushings?
Thanks for any help you can provide me. Gene

[diesel_mercedes] OT

 

So last evening, not feeling so well, I took the subway out to Max's place for the second night in a row. In the morning the maid woke me so she could clean the room. There was a whole class of grade 6 kids exploring the countryside outside the window. Max and I took the Mercedes to a big funky shop to get the brakes done. I then started the car using the key to the pickup, & Max stood outside the car guiding me, the brakes did not work so well, so I crashed into a car and into a big lump of machinery, the whole back of the car fell off, I went to complain about the brakes, then Max and I scoured the place but could not find the Mercedes anywhere. Then I woke up.
