Mercedes E63 AMG Front Control Arm Replacement (2003-2011 Mercedes W211 E55 AMG, E320, E350, E500)

►Your Mercedes-Benz front control arms feature a combination of eight bushing and ball joints per corner to control suspension articulation and absorb NVH. However, the bushings and joints will weaken over time as they see use. Eventually, the once sharp handling will diminish into a vague and soft mess, thanks to the worn bushings and joints. Replacing your control arms is the easiest and most-efficient way of refreshing those components and reviving your Mercedes' handling.

The W211 chassis uses a double-wishbone suspension architecture for the best possible suspension control, but its construction can make arm replacement a bit tricky. Luckily, all you need are the correct hand tools and some patience to get the job done yourself.

In this video, FCP Euro's Professional DIY'er Mike Hidalgo tackles a full control arm replacement on a W211 Mercedes E63 AMG.
