How i replaced sway bar links that are worn, clunking, clicking in a Mercedes-Benz C-Class W204 C204 S204 C250 C300 C63.
Where I bought my parts:
www.FCPEuro.com
(I think they still offer a lifetime warrantly. If there part fails, just buy a new one from them, send them the old one back for a credit)

Hey, Flexx. How are you? Not sure if you are going to see this message as the upload is 3 years old. I have a 2021 C180 Touring that I'm tuning. I'm looking to handling mods at the moment and stumbled across some Eibach sway bars and Whiteline end links. However, I was checking my car and it seems there is no read sway bar, is that the same with the C250? I saw that you just swapped the front end links, so I got curious. Thanks. Cheers, Akamine.

@ZachBuddhahigh
@ZachBuddhahigh 3 года назад
Just a tip but I recently put performance/adjustable sway bar links on mine, and whether stock or not they have to be on a actual Vehicle Lift for proper Pre-load, jacking up that part of the suspension wont give you the correct Pre-Load. If they are installed with the load slightly off even if you don't notice it this will cause the sway bar links to give out very quickly or wear a lot faster. If there is proper Pre Load applied and they still wear out quickly, that usually means their is something wrong with another suspension part. Sway Bar Links are more of a fail safe in case another part of suspension goes out. Just a tip for next time!
@stefcep
@stefcep 3 года назад
Does the excessive wear occur on the ball joint because the ball joint won't have its full range of motion afterwards if it hasn't been pre-loaded because it won't be in the neutral position when the weight is on the wheel and the car is in a flat surface? I found that the end links bolting surface must be lined up perfectly flat with the strut bracket bolt hole bracket at the top and with sway bar bolt hole surface at the bottom, otherwise the ball joint bolt comes in at a slight angle into the holes, and you end up with a small gap between the end link and the strut bracket at the top at the bolt point and sway bar at the bottom when you tighten fully (98NM), (causing the noises later ?). Anyway that's how I did it because I don't have a vehcile lift and on the ground I can see the bottom ball is in the neutral position, it sits flush up against the sway bar, and the sway bar is horizontal to the ground. No noises, drives straight, steering feels much tighter and even in both sides, the car sits flatter on cornering. See what happens I guess.
@MrTomclive
@MrTomclive 11 месяцев назад
Potential silly question but what do you mean by pre-load? I changed my sway links by jacking the car up in the middle pad at the front and removed wheels, changed links (I didn’t have anything under the control arms taking any weight etc) just removed old ones and new ones straight in.

Should be able to get around 80k-100k km's. Need to make sure the end links tighten up flush with the strut bracket surface and the sway bar.
@stefcep
@stefcep 3 года назад
here is a discussion about this: superpro.com.au/how-to-install-sway-bar-link ( yes it is about after-market adjustable end links but the principle is the same- the end links must be fitted in a neutral position with the wheels under normal static load on a special hoist if they are not it will not be possible to have them tighten flush against the strut bracket or to the sway bar because the bolt of the end link ball joint will not come in the right angle. This will limit the full movement of the ball joint as the car is being driven and steered over uneven roads causing early failure which is what I think might have happened to your previous pair of end links that failed quickly

Yeah...the worst part for the benz is being able to use a torx bit or hex bit to hold the swaybar link shaft in place while taking the nut off. Especially on the lower nut. And if you strip that hole for the torx bit/hex bit, you are kinda screwed unless you cut off the nut.

@TheFlexxGarage
@TheFlexxGarage 4 года назад
Common problem. Camshaft adjuster is worn and timing is completely off. Keep driving and your engine will probably break down. It’s a $1500-$2500 repair. Go to a specialized German car shop if you want to save money. There’s no DIY for this.

@TheFlexxGarage
@TheFlexxGarage 2 года назад
pretty sure it's your shocks or the sway bar links. Note, you can't just diagnose the issues with worn sway bar links by using your hand unless they are super worn out. When a car is driving and hittin bumps, there's thousands of pounds put on these links and shocks. If there's even a little give, the weight of the car will make it known (as a clunk, rattle, etc..). A hand does not have enough force to "diagnose" the issue. I would find a reputable shop that works on Mercedes.

I've had my car apart so many times, struts, control arms, coil springs, and yet to use a "new" nut or bolt. I just clean them up with a brass brush to clean out all the old loctite Mercedes loves using. Just replaced some rusty rear dust shields this weekend and reused all the hardware, though I did replace the brake pad hold down springs, part# 2014230592 for 70 cents each at MB dealer.

Did you preload them before tightening the bolt? Cause that’s where people make the mistake. They let it hang, tighten the bolt, and thinks it’s fully tightened. And when you lower the car, the weight of the car is now on the links and it will expose areas where it’s not tightened all the way.

Hi Flexx, You installed a strut bar which bolts across the engine if I recall. Q. Does that help extend the life of these links or is there no effect?
@TheFlexxGarage
@TheFlexxGarage Год назад
Not really. Just helps reduce body roll and helps with turning.

Don’t know. I bought mine on FCP euro cause it’s lifetime warranty on their parts. Never had any issues after I did the replacement.

Hy. Any shakes at high speeds? Thanks. I don't hear this sound in the car and I have a little play in the front right wheel. (could be the bearing a bit loose?) Thanks.

@TheFlexxGarage 2 года назад
No sound. You have another issue if you have shakes. Alignment, bearing, loose lug nuts, uneven tire wear, tie rod ends, etc. Get the car jacked up and get it diagnosed before things get worse.

Do you need new nuts with the new sway bar?

They're self locking nuts, so I wouldn't replace them until the 2nd or 3rd time

Why they fail so quickly..? Mercedes' double wishbone suspension eats any moving parts if they are not correctly installed... When I install something new on mine, I always lightly pretighten it first, then I put full weight on the wheel, and then I tighten it to spec..

@rvidal0001 to properly tighten these, you need a set of through sockets. harbor freight sells a kit that's pretty reasonable. www.harborfreight.com/sae-metric-go-thru-socket-set-21-pc-62305.html

So why do they fail so quickly ???
@TheFlexxGarage
@TheFlexxGarage 4 года назад
Don’t know. Could just be a cheap part or poor design or just the nature of the piece. I would rather have this piece start to fail and i pay small money to replace it several times before i have to replace other larger, more expensive suspension components.

Plus the roads in my area are pretty bad. That takes a beating and puts a lot of stress on that part as well.

@@TheFlexxGarage Its because the front shocks are starting to wear out. These cars dont have any upper control arms so when there is a play in the shocks the sway bar links fails very quickly. If you change the shocks aswell, the sway bar links will last much longer :)

That's weird that you have to change them after 1 year of changing them. Sounds like you purchased a faulty pair the first time.

Yup. They suck for places with shitty roads. I just did it last year and now doing it again. Luckily now I don’t drive that much so it should last longer. Lol
