Doing this job later along with the front rear control arm. Watched this video about 10 times now. Feeling pretty confidant now to tackle it! Thanks for the tutorial!
Great video really clear angles. You show the proper sequence of doing it which is 95% the main hassle if u have not done it before. The other 5% is usual removing/fitting bolts, parts etc. Saved me a small fortune seeing the correc sequence of doing it. Thank you ! :) Whats the chances of showing a video removing the DPF and replacing the engine core plug above it ? Its a common one on the W03s for leaking and needing replaced.
Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your nice comment, it is very important to us. You are absolutely right that there may be difficulties in car parts replacement and that the dismantling takes most of the procedure time. Watch out for our upgrades. Be sure that the video you are interested in will appear .Best regards, Autodoc.
Very clear video, very good, only missing bushing retainers/covers. I will be doing this same job in my car in a few weeks, just waiting for the ball joint separator to arrive
Just change lower suspension arm on my mercedes clc 220 CDI 2008. Straight forward if you have a 21mm comp spanner & a ball joint splitter. I recommend SAS Universal Maintenance Spray Car Motorbike Penetrating Lube WD 500ml. put it on an hour before release.
We do not provide repair services and we recommend that you consult your mechanic. You are absolutely right and in practice it is required to use a torque wrench and observe the appropriate tightening torques.
Superb video and visuals of where to disconnect and mount. What was your rule of measure to determine how much jack pressure to put on the suspension to simulate the control arm under weight before torqueing it down?
Thank you for your feedback! We are happy that you like our video. Before lifting the car, we just measured the distance from the wheel up to the edge of the wheel arch. After this , when doing control torquing, we just simulated the load under our own weight, having lifted the wheel up to the same distance. Best regards, Autodoc.
Awesome video, not sure if anyone caught this but, i think you didn’t torque the lock nut of the control arm? Looked as you might have missed that or the videonis cut…. Not otherwise great work mate!!!
Look up Alex at LegitStreetCars on TH-cam he has links to the genuine MB Spec Sheets which you can download for your specific car direct from MB for around $19.00 (Invaluable)
Is there a specific direction to fit the big bolt? I was told its a camber bolt and has a marking on it facing north with indents on the east west sides in the actual thread on the bolt?
Thank you for your comment. This bolt does not have an exact direction, we recommend contacting a service where you will adjust the wheel settings on the breakup stand. Best Regards, Autodoc team
Hello; your videos are great; need help; I have a Mercedes w203 C320; when I step on the brake or start with it there is a rattling iron noise; it looks like a pile of loose iron beating under the car; when my car is in D-gear it also makes a valve-like or valve comander noise; does it have any connection with this loose iron noise hitting
Thank you for your feedback! Unfortunately, it is not possible to unequivocally answer your question, there may be a lot of reasons, we recommend contacting the service for a complete diagnosis and identifying the cause of the problem. Best Regards, Autodoc Team!
You need a spring compressor. Most shops that do suspensions have these mounted to the wall but you can buy/rent spring compressors from most parts stores. If you've never done it before be EXTREMELY careful. It can be very dangerous as the springs are under heavy load when compressed.
The large bolt securing the arm should only be tightened when 4 wheels are on the ground otherwise the bush will wear prematurely dud the the stress of nit being in the correct position.
Thank you for your comment. You are absolutely right, the final close-fitting of silent blocks of arms should be done when the car is on the ground on all 4 wheels. Best Regards, Autodoc team.

Yes it's actually upper arm. Watch out when buying on their site for this part. They put both upper and lower arm in the same filtering search. I bought the upper arm but in product description it says lower arm. Hence the video is a mistake

at 1:31 what is being removed with the 10mm nut? I don't have that black plastic piece on my car...
Perhaps your design of car does not have automatic sensors for adjusting the height of the headlights.
@@autodocuk That would be it. Thank you

How much is the labour cost to replace suspension lower arms on both side?..and I didn’t see you using any torque wrench? 🤔

How do I know I reached ride hight with the jack to torque the arm bolt back? Great video. I have used many of your videos before to fix my 203.
Before starting work, when the car is still on wheels, you can measure the distance from the center of the wheel to the wheel arch on the wing.
Great video guys thanks!
Thank you for the feedback! We are glad you find our video interesting and informative. Stay tuned. Best regards, Autodoc.
Autodoc thank you. You show us amazing things many thanks

Why is it called the upper lower arm?
Awesome video, not sure if anyone caught this but, i think you didn’t torque the lock nut of the control arm? Looked as you might have missed that or the videonis cut…. Not otherwise great work mate!!!
This moment was not captured on video. Thank you for your attentiveness.
Thanks.

What happened to the Torque specs. I didn't see any.
Is there a specific direction to fit the big bolt? I was told its a camber bolt and has a marking on it facing north with indents on the east west sides in the actual thread on the bolt?

what is that seen on 01:30? thanks alot
Thank you for your feedback. This is the ground clearance sensor used for the headlight adjustment system. Best regards,Autodoc!
Hi .. Did you had to compress the coil spring in order to get the strut loose .?? I will like to know
Thank you for the video
You need a spring compressor. Most shops that do suspensions have these mounted to the wall but you can buy/rent spring compressors from most parts stores.
If you've never done it before be EXTREMELY careful. It can be very dangerous as the springs are under heavy load when compressed.
Do you mean in order to get the stabilizer link loose?
Thank you for the feedback! Your opinion is important for us and we will take your remarks into consideration! Best regards, Autodoc.
Are there specs for the height adjustment?
The large bolt securing the arm should only be tightened when 4 wheels are on the ground otherwise the bush will wear prematurely dud the the stress of nit being in the correct position.

In the video, the mechanic replaced the front lower front suspension arm.
Torque specs
You can find this information in the technical documentation for car repair.

Alignment afterwards...
This is upper arm.
Difficult than Japaneese Compact Cars.Example-Toyota,Nissan

Or intentionally misleading i don't know
Always check your VIN parts catalogue and buy the parts matching to OEM number.
