Fixing Jerking Rear Suspension: The "Hidden" Control Arm Ball Joint Bushing Can be the Culprit.

[@kevin9c1]

I feel like every Mercedes multi-link rear suspension does this. I am impressed if this is really the culprit. Will probably buy a kit to do my 07 S550.

thank you Ken. Every soft suspension bushing is important to renew

This reminds me of a problem I had on my W204. The back end would kick out slightly when I braked. I checked the brakes and they were fine. I checked the suspension and I found out that one of the links had come away from the rear subframe because of corrosion on the subframe which is a common problem with the W204. I then found out that Mercedes-Benz have a 30 year corrosion warranty in Europe (20 years in North America) and the subframe is covered. It took it to my local dealer and they replaced the subframe under warranty. I would urge all W204 owners to go striaght to the dealer if the rear subframe is corroded as all such affected W204s should be covered by the corrosion warranty.

I don't understand why in Lebanon they call it the grease bushing 🤔

[@Mercedessource]

I suspect it is because there is grease inside. It is actually a ball joint bushing.

Thank you again Kent, and the team! You're awesome! Love your videos. I was just wondering if you've ever thought about making a headlight adjustment video?

Thanks for this, I have a CLK 350 and have experienced what feels like a kick sideways going over a bump. How much labor is involved in just dropping the control arm and replacing the bushing?
