Do I understand correctly that I will not be able to switch on the rear wiper after the replacement?

@offgridnomads377 14 күн бұрын

@@blablabradorka My Toyota did not have a rear wiper. You can buy a replacement that includes rear wiper option that is a perfect fit and no wire changes needed. Just remove and replace. The beauty is the relay is built in the unit. Hope this helps.

I‘m guessing those spacers are Polyurethane? How are they holding up? Would you recommend going with steel ones or ist PU fine so far? Great Video, my W163 has Similar mods and i am looking forward to doing much more.

@offgridnomads377 2 ай бұрын

The owner used polyurethane on the left side and metal on the right side since the metal is half inch and the polyurethane is 1 in. For some reason the left and the right were different and the only way to make it work is to use different sizes. They have been holding up very well. What made the biggest difference is using the Eibach 800 lbs springs. We have not made the video for this upgrade yet. Though the 750 lbs springs would work too. However, the bolt slots need to be elongated to be able to correct the camber.

@@offgridnomads377 thanks for letting me know! I'm also going with a combination of stiffer springs (generic HD, cheapest I could find) and PU spacers. Bolt slots should be just long enough since I am only going with 20 mm.

How'd that alignment go? I had a crazy amount of negative camber with 30mm spacer from Tema and OEM replacement struts. I'm not sure if they preloaded the upper control arms before setting down. I'm assuming this can happen in the front too after torsion bar lift?

@offgridnomads377 4 ай бұрын

@@SenorReso Yes it can happen on the fronts too. Currently have -1.5 camber on the fronts. One of these days may want to elongate the adjustment slots to get a bit less negative camber.

I pull a trailer behind my ML400 I am already 1´´ lower in the back then the front with the empty car. Time to replace the rear suspension, but not an easy task. I am looking for something which can hold much more weight, had a look at adjustable ones with pneumatics, but lots of people say they are not very reliable, lots of problems, on top of that I will load more then usual. There are several kits with pneumatic adjustment, but none works for Mercedes ML´s. If some of you figured something let me know.
