Thank you for sharing this video. I needed to replace a steering suspension arm and wasn't entirely sure exactly how to do it. Now i know. Thank you, you have saved me a bag of money.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to clarify the tightening torque, this information can be found in the technical documentation for the repair of your car. AUTODOC
They're camber/castor bolts. The placement of the bolts adjusts...you guessed it....the camber & castor. I don't think they're all fitted with these bolts.
It is recommended to tighten the bolts when the car is mounted on wheels, in this case we simulated the working position of the suspension with a hydraulic suspension.
I love this videos, they help me a lot how to repair my MB C 320 4matic, the only thing I don’t like is that in the App you can’t choose EEUU country location. just Europe.😕😕
can u make video about changing the reinforcment bars on clk w209 (there are two reinforcment bars on convertible clk w209 in the front that conects subframe to the chassis)
Hey I have a c230 2008 base model rwd I want to change the exact same part but I can’t find the name of the part so anyone knows from where and what part should I buy plz thank you.
Thank you for your comment! Copper grease perfectly protects against corrosion and sticking of parts operating at high temperatures, thereby facilitating further dismantling during subsequent replacements. Best Regards, Autodoc team
@@danielstone6228 Old comment, but maybe this will help someone else now wondering the same thing. If you tighten up the bolt with no load on the suspension, once the car is on wheels on the ground the arm will pivot, which will twist the rubber, which will lead to the rubber splitting prematurely. Another way to think about it... Put out your index finger on your right hand (as if you're pointing). Now grab it tight with your left hand. Twist your right hand index finger with your left hand. Doesn't feel good, does it? In this case, your left elbow is where the ball joint is. The ball joint rises when the car is back on the ground. So lift up your left elbow and keep it there. That constant twisting force you feel on your right index finger will be applied to the rubber at that bolt forever. The same thing will happen if you tighten up the bolt on the control arm before you load the suspension - once you load the suspension, the arm want to twist on the bolt, but the bolt is too tight, so the rubber takes up the play, which can make the rubber crack/tear.
