You've given me the courage to do this on my SLK.

Just remember to tighten the bolts on bushings by letting the car settle on all 4 tyres. This is to prevent immature wearing of the bushes otherwise great Vid

This is a great video because I can see that this job can be done without a hoist and a load of special tools.
I was also a little intimidated by having to do the brake caliper and the ABS.
Thank you so much

I love your 'garage'. Outside with a natural roof and plenty of light. Great video, i am replacing the upper/lower control arms on my W211. (Both sides)
Thx.

Good job. I need to replace the lower control arms on my C230. I get the same clunking sound. I had the upper control arms replaced not long ago and should have down the lowers also. Thanks for this.

Nice video 🙏🏻

[@gman8464]

Awesome thanks for the video

[@frankcumaio8328]

Thanks for watching!

[@chrisadams6595]

So I've completed one side of the car with 2 new arms and steering ball joint.
I've started on the other.
It has gone to plan. Thanks so much👍it has helped me enormously this video.
I found removing the ball joints to be harder than expected, but thanks very much

[@frankcumaio8328]

Happy to hear that you made it out. always here to help :)

[@jorgba]

Did you have to do the alignment after the job? Thanks!

[@oldphilosopher9143]

Excellent Video - Mercedes does charge you labor for removing the brake caliper, whether they do it or not. Last estimate I got was $754.00 per side for the Torque Struts plus the stabilizer bar for $363.00. Taxes and lubricants bring the total to almost $1900.00. Doing it yourself with the aid of your video saves a LOT of $$$...Thank you so very much Frank...

[@frankcumaio8328]

Wooow. That’s a lot of money. Welcome

[@mcfly3892]

good job

[@josiahhardy]

Thank you my dude now it’s my turn lol yaaay jk thank You again for a great video!!

[@casualfocus1371]

Great video so much more information than all those with 500k subs don't know how they get so many when they just change the part in a garage on a lift don't show bolts or anything am I that dumb to need visual aid 🤣

[@frankcumaio8328]

😂😂😂😂hhahahaa indee. Thanks man appreciate it

[@ricardinhofonzie5949]

Well done my brother. Simple and benefited from learning how not to do more than I should. Just interested to know if you tightened the bolts without compressing the struts?

[@frankcumaio8328]

Yes there was no need to compress it

[@edvardbabkin9066]

Any advice for the rear control arms I have to replace 4 of them minimum

[@mkbadlands5346]

Wow! Your video made the steps very clear. Thank you!!!!
Very nice toes too 🦶🏼 🦶🏼 🤩

[@InnocentAnglerfish-mb3uo]

Does it creak when you are getting out of the car

[@jorgba]

Thanks for a great video. Did you have to realign the car?

[@frankcumaio8328]

Thank you. no wasnt needed

[@andreicotorobai731]

important to jug up the arm before tightening the bolts ? thanks

[@frankcumaio8328]

Yes very important. Drop the car back to the ground and then tighten it

[@andreicotorobai731]

@@frankcumaio8328 what will make the difference? thank you

[@lesegomolefe3191]

I got down to do the job only to find out the subframe is rotten,and I dont think changing it is a job I can handle

[@zippy0099]

I had this done and now I have 3 lights on the dash. The ABS, ESP, and BAS. Did yours do that?

[@frankcumaio8328]

No I didn't mate, try to check if you didn't mess with the abs lines

[@zippy0099]

Frank Cumaio turns out it was one of the abs sensors. They changed both of the front ones and it fixed it, so🤷🏼‍♂️

[@frankcumaio8328]

@@zippy0099 glad you sorted mate

[@dannyona5594]

I watched another video where he said. It to tighten fasteners for control arm until car is lowered to ground to seat the control arma properly. Also he used a ball joint remover. What do you think? Thanks
