►The Mercedes-Benz W205 suspension is tuned to be both comfortable and sporty while managing the weight that gives Mercedes' their refined nature. With the Mercedes W205 reaching nearly 10 years old now, the suspension bushings, bearings, and ball joints are more likely than not due to be replaced.

You should've added in how to quickly spot a bent strut (look at the bolt that runs through the lower control arm and holds the strut to it), that the lower control arms have a tendency to squeak when going over bumps (literally happens in every sedan made from 2015), the upper arms very rarely go bad and to watch out for rusty springs.

How about doing a presentation about W211 steering wheel having a slight vibration during speed of 30 to 40mph. Also about the special adjusting bolt for making/correcting wheel alignment. Regards

Hi can the rear upper control arm that boost to subframe be replaced without dropping subframe

@gwindy6439 Год назад

When i put the car in drive and let go off the brake slowly but not all the way still keeping pressure on brakes there is a huge vibration in car. What would be the cause of it ?

I have mercedes benz GLC 250D premium AMG Line. It is making clunk/knock noises over a rough road from the rear end inside the boot. After a diagnostic from the local garage, they assumed it was a shock absorber or something in the suspension. I couldn't find out yet. Any solution, please?

@nicolasgalileo7209 3 года назад

Would this apply also for 2015 GLK 250 ? Pls n thx . Awesome video like always!!!!

@JeeperZJ 2 года назад

No, glk shares with the w204 c-class. The w253 GLC shares the underchassis with this w205 c-class.

@billybob1511 2 года назад

Does airmatic in the W205 give a quieter ride from road noise and vibrations?

@JeeperZJ 2 года назад

Not by much

@JLED2024 2 года назад

I was told that my two rear tires in the back of my 2017 Mercedes C43 AMG Sedan were bad because of two bad shock absorbers. My car was purchased CPO at 27,000 Miles and now I have 42,000 miles. Should this really be the issue or are they trying to rip me off at Tires Plus? I have Nankang tires.

@AlbieVas Год назад

Did you get them replaced ? How much was it

@TheN8doggnw 2 года назад

Thank you for the helpful info. Any idea what causes a kind of sqeaky noise when turning the wheel either direction? I was told low power steering fluid to a bad rack...it a 2016 C300 with only 46k miles

@Ngawangtashi43 2 года назад

Lower control arm

@ThinkingHuman Год назад

Did you ever find a fix to this? I'm having the same problem.

@ThinkingHuman Год назад

@@Ngawangtashi43mine is coming from steering column.

@TheN8doggnw Год назад

@ThinkingHuman it ended up being the lower control arm. They come with bushings pre-installed and it was very easy to do myself.

@hayderalhilo9580 6 месяцев назад

Did you just replace the lower control arm Forward? Which is the longer arm on both sides? Or you replaced both forward and backwards? He has them on the table in the left side

@The_McD 7 месяцев назад

For the C400 the axels make a clicking or popping sound. There is a bulletin. Not sure if it's because of the front/rear bias setup? I wonder if this problematic for all models or just C400.

@fcpeuro 7 месяцев назад

This has seem to become a problem on our C300 as well...

@aniketmasurkar4513 2 года назад

can you change only bushing without changing the arm

@JeeperZJ 2 года назад

For the thrust arm (front arm) you can, they actually tend to come without the bushing when you replace the arm if the ball joint or arm itself is damaged and you have to press a new one in. For the spring control arm you technically can but when replacing the arm they come pre-installed, however if we have to make a camber adjustment we do have a correction bushing that can be pressed in....mercedes doesn't supply a non-offset replacement bushing for this arm.
