@tycurtin7565 6 месяцев назад

You are supposed to tighten the control arm bolts after the weight is on the car. The bushings are wound up, and that's why the car is sitting high.

You should use a spring compressor designed for Mercedes, if something goes wrong when using a regular spring compressor it may cause death.

@christianwc9458 6 месяцев назад

Great video - and that you mentioned the risks. I have the same chinese (spindle through circular plates) spring compressor, smeared a dab of (Mos2) grease on the spindle and slide areas. Used it with a manual ratchet wrench - just felt better.

@gregsheffer912 6 месяцев назад

it is much easier to put the bolts on the inside of the control arm first, then the spring, then connect the ball joint

@MonkeyWrenchMike 6 месяцев назад

The ball joint was the most difficult part of this repair. I had to spread the wheel hub a ton to get it in.

Hello Mike aka Monkey Wrench Mike. Working on the Mercedes Station Wagon again. Replacing the front struts and engine mounts.

@edwardkamenar1493 6 месяцев назад

The problem with the first spring compresser that you used is if you don't have one on each side, it doesn't quite compress the spring but rather just bends it in one direction. I have a set of those and learned the hard way.

@wolfhound4010 6 месяцев назад

Those cheap spring compressors are so dangerous. I had a friend who was working on a front end. Compressed the spring, took it out to put in on the work bench and it broke and the spring shot straight up and tore his jaw off. He was in the hospital for a long time. Could not ever work after that. Had to have many surgeries.

@rickblanchette 6 месяцев назад

When replacing the lower control arms always do in pairs and do not tighten the bolts until you have the vehicle weight on the wheels. Do not loctite the bolts either.

@Merotina1 6 месяцев назад

i´d love to take the car out of your hands. BUT I live in Germany... So sadly it´s not possible. :-) But you did a great work ^^ Thx for your videos.

@habsom1406 6 месяцев назад

I was cringing when I saw the HF spring compressor poorly fitted to the coil spring and was shouting NO MIKEY, NO, DON'T DO IT. So glad you got the correct tool and prioritised your safety, you're precious and have a yootoobe channel, a duck and a dog to maintain. Re: 'the gearchange flair', could it be a tired or worn front or rear guibo, propshaft flex disc? I think you should keep both of them as they're getting difficult to find in good condition. Would love to see a drive by with your camera set on a static tripod so we get a view of the car in motion.

@dimitrig3739 6 месяцев назад

I replaced my struts and spring isolators on my w210 4matic using the same HF compressors. I had to change my shorts on several occasions and will never attempt again.

Get this one finished up and sell it. Then maybe get the other one perfect, should the title work out. Always good to see you Mike! Take care.

Have a D2 Audi A8L Quattro I inherited along with a D4 TT version. At 160K, did the bushings & end links on the sway bars (poly bushings), Bilstein struts & mounts as well as a set of sport springs (28 or 30MM drop, German company w/TUV certification!)- it firmed up the ride slightly, but not harsh. Definitely difference in the handling & feel. Also, put a Bergman Auto Craft steering/suspension/brake upgrade combo on my '76 V8 Valiant sedan (it has 12" rotors off a '76 Charger Daytona, yes the Cordoba version) and that thing is hilariously good for a car designed in the 1960's

@dinispaulino7512 6 месяцев назад

I'm glad you bought the right spring compressor tool, Mike. You really don't wanna mess with these beafy Mercedes springs with the conventional type of compressor. I bought one just like yours on Amazon when I was rebuilding the suspension on my W124 (it was around 70 bucks I think), and it was a great investment, even though now it'll sit on the box for years, it's worth it just to do the job once, so you can avoid dying, which would be somewhat inconvenient. Specially for you, always working on different Mercedes, it will pay for itself in no time.

@baitse7676 6 месяцев назад

Unfortunately, the OEM engine mounts (Lemforder) are produced in China as well. I think Corteco is made in Hungary. I'm forced to buy from the Mercedes dealer for my 2006 E320 CDI. The Lemforder China mounts didn't last 200 miles.

Put the best parts on one wagon and sell the other one. Or keep it for parts. This can be a car for life. Not a lot of other cars that can compete.

IMHO, not so sure viewers have a favorite car to see you work on but would rather see you work on cars than walking around them . I've noticed several channels are spending more time waking around cars than working on them. But that's just my opinion.

These spring compressors are not meant to be used with an impact tool! Be careful.

@JCubed123 6 месяцев назад

I learned this the hard way! No injuries, thank god, but a lot of drama. Keep the threads of the spring compressor lubricated and use a ratchet and socket! There are some spring compressors that CAN be used with an impact gun, but otherwise assume that you should not use one.
