Auto Repair Guys are you in okc
Do you have a video on Subframe damage ?
Control arm chassis bolt should only be torqued with the hub at the normal relative ride height.
You guys are a life saver. Thank you for your videos.
Awesome videos. Keep up the good work. I have saved lots of money. You make it really easy to work on my car. Also please thank your helper. He does a great job as well.
Two thumbs up!!! I always learn something new!!!
Great video - very well explained. I’m doing one of these this afternoon and this was so clear.
Thank you! Sooooo much for this video. Your explanations are very easy to follow!
Пичове,
Благодаря ! ! !
Благодарение на обяснението ви успявам да си спестя около 400 лири за същия ремонт на два носача (ляв и десн) в Ливърпул, Англия.
Страхотни сте! Поздрави :) :) :)
Love how u pay attention to detail
Very helpful,especially the info about the tools needed👍
Great video and information good job
I applaud your english my friend. Great work.
Thanks for your videos man, hope you make a video soon on how to change or flush the power steering fluid on a mercedes w204.
Thanks man 💯 u helped me save 800 dollars in Labor 👍💯
Thank you it's really helpfull 🙏🏼
Yes to what Leonardo said below. Once the chassis end of the control arm bolt is just past finger tight the suspension should be loaded to ride height then finish tightening the 21mm nut . Can use a small jack and small block of wood to compress the suspension about 2 1/2 inches taking care to not push the car off the jack stand or jack holding the car up . By preloading the chassis end bushing it avoids getting over stretched when the car is on the ground. Over stretching the bushing causes it to fail prematurely .
I recommend using Rhino ramps because lifting the car while on jacks can be dangerous. It also much more accurate to place on ramps. If you don’t have 4 ramps jack up the rear place the rear on jacks stands and the front on ramps.
Awesome videos. I have a 2010 C300 w204 sport sedan. Now with the situation going on I have saved a lot of money. Very easy step by step. Thank you very much. Keep the videos coming and keep up the good work.
Nice car and great info.
Great vid thanks guys, did the same job yesterday, the only challenge I had was trying to do it on my own and the strut kept turning so had to remove drop link. The drop link bolt seized so had to cut it off! Lucky I had new one so job done but took longer than planned. Nice to have a car that now runs smoothly and quiet again👍
Agree, great vid. Just finished the job on my drive and had the same problem with the strut turning. Managed it with trolley jack, both hands and a knee! Would be a lot easier with a spare pair of hands just to get the top strut bolt back in.
Hi guys....we always learn something from yours video that’s great.....put I have questions were are you living guys I would like to bring my car to your to fix it for me....dont worry I will pay....thank you again.....keep going man.....👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Nice job guys 👍👍👍👌 asking what brand is you torx tools...
Better video than autodoc👍🏻
Thank you
Nice video brader new video per day kantinew video uploding
Interesting. I have the 4matic and it's looking like the axle may be in the way of popping the ball joint out, wonder if turning the wheel all the way will give me more clearance.
I have a 2014 Mercedes c300 sport and my steering is pulling a little bit and when I go over bumps I hear a wack noise do you think it’s the ball joint or the stabilizer bar bushings? I replaced the sway bar links because the rubber was bad on them but I still hear the noise so I was thinking ball joint or sway bar bushings would really help for your opinion
did car hit something hard (bump, pave way etc) for the arm bolt to bend
Hey GUYS do you want to colloborate in an e55 amg together? Let me know, love your videos
Clear videos guys. Can I ask, is the bush on the other side of the control arm oil filled? As I have a leak and it 100% looks like it is coming from that bush. Thanks.
Yeah, it’s oil filled, mine just failed 🤦♂️
Please, show how to change arms ww205 body
Don't get me wrong, but the video is very misleading and this is how you should NOT do it. Never. The big bolt always must be tightened at last, and when the car is resting on its tires. Not when it is on the jack. If you do it like this, you will cause a premature damage of the bushing because it will be under constant tension, the rubber will be twisted inside and basically after 20-30 thousand km you can change it again. Every mechanic should know this. Sorry guys, i like your channel but with this is not right...
So how do you tighten if the wheels would be in the way?
@@etripp6959.that's what I want to know also
@@etripp6959One way would be to use ramps. Tighten it loosely, put the wheel on, let the car down, drive the front onto a pair of safe ramps of equal height. Now you can finish tightening the bolt from under the car.
Guy I bought a c-class kompressor on the front right hand side there was a doughnut space saver this is leading me to think this is where the trouble happened it must have struck a pathway or a when I drive in a straight line with the car it is smooth no noises no knocking but if I turn to the left putting the pressure of the car onto the doughnut wheel the car will wobble in a fish fishtail and pretty noticeable to but if I can left putting the way to the car onto the proper wheel it will not and if I go over speed ramp it will wobble, what do you reckon off the top of your head
Hi.i had all control arms replaced, and now I have outer edge wear on my front tyres...what cud this be...I have a c250cdi sport saloon..thanks
Is this the same procedure on a 4matic ? That appears to be RWD
Are you torquing the bolts on the control arms?
You’re supposed to
I don't think you're supposed to tighten up the control arm fully unless the tire is in ready to drive position
Yeah you have to have on ground b4 tightening or use a kick or something to mimic as sitting on ground level if this is any help
Hey guys I just got that problem call control arm for mercedes-benz e 320 2007 I drive that car for lost 10+ year I gess 12 ,now in body shop they ask me to fix that problem disell I have 500$ what you think about that price?
Hi my friend
Thanks for taking the time of doing this great video.
I have small issues with my car. I need your advice
Do you have Facebook messenger? I would like to send you a video..
Kind regards
It's much easier to jack the car the proper way
On the rubber jacking point thats where you put the jack but where is the best place to put the jack stand .because there is not another jacking point can you send picture or do a video about this please.
they know so little to place jack on plastic cover 😎 no jack adapter pad nothing 😂
I’ve replaced the lower got to replace the upper so I’m hoping it’s this other wise it’s looking like it’s my shock absorber 😢
A bit low for "Upper".
Why new installed arm has oval hole in the Bush instead round like you removed
What the difference?
That bush wont last long, never tighten the bush bolt until the vehicle is at ride height.
Is it possible that a bad control arm can mess with your alignment?
Not really unless the rubber completely disintegrated. Normally you get lots on noise when moving wheel while stationary. Its easy way to tell its control arms. I drove with bad one for few months but rubber just started breaking and had no issues with alignment.
yes 100%, loose front control arm will toe-out front wheels: cars unstable in straight position.
The Benz OEM control arm bushing is junk with an open slot in the rubber... premature failure galore like all Benz parts 😂
@@glasser2819 You are wrong. Mercedes OEM parts are good, so is Lemforder, Meyle HD. Problem is lack of education on part installation. This control arm is installed wrong, the rubber bushing will tear down in a year or two at its best. Everyone who follows this video will install it wrong and blame mercedes or part manufactor. He tightened the bolts while the car was off ground, the control arm sits in that position. Once the wheel is on, car is lowered to the ground, whole weight will be causing tear on the bushing. 24/7 there will be heavy tension on the rubber bushing, it wants to twist into its position but cant, thats why they fail. The one and only way is to hand tighten the bushing, torque ball joint to 50nm i believe. Put the wheel on, lower the car on ground, let the control arm find its neutral position, then torque it to 80nm as far as i remember. You have to put some silicon grease or spray over the rubber bushings, to impregnate it and protect from water, salt, low temperatures. You have to use medium loctite on the bolt. Only then it is installed correct and with "normal use" it will last 7-10years without a problem.
@@nAN3ftw makes sense -- good point.
@@nAN3ftw well worded
I like how they wrote a ton of useless crap in the description but nothing useful, like say, the torque specs. I do not care about what camera you guys used or what kind of laptop you used, does absolutely nothing for the repair.
with all due respect...are u sure thats not the lower control arm? Thanks
Front left upper control arm.
Torque specs?
80nm inner bush, 50 outer at hub.
WRONG!!! You're suppose to tight the bolt of the bushing side of the control arm at right height you're bushing will fail!
Are control arms for a 2009 C300 Mercedes Benz 4 matic sport the same as the same year and model non 4 matic?
I have a 2010 and I was wondering the same thing
No they are different. Because the 4matic has front axles alot of the suspension parts in the front are different from RWD, but the parts for the rear are mostly the same. Then again springs and struts are different part #s between luxury and sport models also. Control arm 4matic front right upper is 2043307411/2043309111. Front left upper is 2043307311/2043309011.
