Great detailed video. one tip though, torque the thrust arm with the wheels on the surface so it’s sitting right when the weight is on it, otherwise it will be always in stress and you’ll go through bushings really easy.

Good point. I’ll retorque them one of these days

Nice! 21mm is key to the heart of merc suspension.

Good video. I am replacing all the components of the passenger side. the driver side was done a few months ago by someone else. It looks easy enough for me. Tie rods as well. I watched your video. As someone pointed out I torque the nuts once I put weight on the wheel.

Thanks! Good luck

You may want to check when to tighten the thrust arm on the chassis. I believe it must be done under load, in other words, tires on ground.

[@dcfgarage]

U are absolutely right! Doing the way I did might cause premature wear

[@lcervantes8505]

Big thrust arm nut 80Nm+120'. Torque should be under load or you'll tear rubber parts , drive weird, and get noises.

Thanks for the tip!
