Great quality, I'm impressed! As a note I wouldn't spray WD-40 on rubber bushings and ball joint boots because it's petroleum based and not good for rubber. Also these wheels do not look good on the w210 IMHO :)

on my w210 e230 my front, right, Lower control arm cracked and needs replacing, is there anything important that i need to know besides: preload suspension (10-15cm), and torque spec's when tightening?
and should anything be replaced during this procedure(nuts, bolt's, reapply loctite, etc)


im new to control arm replacement so any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Hi I just saw this video very interesting and resourceful. My question is upon returning the bolts, is there a right position of the bolt? According to the wheel alignment mechanic there’s a limited movement of the lower control arm when turning the bolt. Thanks!

How many Labor ball-park is this if you have all tools required?

Good video. However, the music doesn't fit and is distracting.

You guys always seem as calm as Hindu cows I don't know how you do it...

Hi! Thanks for the videos, they are very helpful for DIYers with little to no idea like me. Is this vehicle a 4matic? I have a 2001 E430 4matic. Thanks
