Video Description
►Your Mercedes-Benz front control arms feature a combination of eight bushing and ball joints per corner to control suspension articulation and absorb NVH. However, the bushings and joints will weaken over time as they see use. Eventually, the once sharp handling will diminish into a vague and soft mess, thanks to the worn bushings and joints. Replacing your control arms is the easiest and most-efficient way of refreshing those components and reviving your Mercedes' handling. The W211 chassis uses a double-wishbone suspension architecture for the best possible suspension control, but its construction can make arm replacement a bit tricky. Luckily, all you need are the correct hand tools and some patience to get the job done yourself. In this video, FCP Euro's Professional DIY'er Mike Hidalgo tackles a full control arm replacement on a W211 Mercedes E63 AMG. 00:00 - Intro & Tools Needed 02:33 - Mercedes E63 AMG Front Wheel & Liner Removal 03:55 - Mercedes E63 AMG Front Air Strut Line Disconnect 06:40 - Mercedes E63 AMG Front Air Strut Removal 07:39 - Mercedes E63 AMG Front Upper Control Arm Replacement 13:23 - Mercedes E63 AMG Sway Bar End Link Replacement 14:50 - Mercedes E63 AMG Front Lower Control Arm Replacement 17:25 - Mercedes E63 AMG Lower Ball Joint Replacement 22:33 - Mercedes E63 AMG Lower Control Arm Install 26:15 - Mercedes E63 AMG Sway Bar End Link Install 27:02 - Mercedes E63 AMG Front Suspension Torque Sequence 34:16 - Wrap-up Shop the parts used in this video: Mercedes-Benz W211 E63 AMG Front Control Arm Kit: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mercedes-control-arm-kit-lemforder-211330?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=mps%20w211&utm_content=front%20control%20arm%20diy Mercedes Ball Joint Press: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mercedes-ball-joint-press-baum-tools?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=mps%20w211&utm_content=front%20control%20arm%20diy Mercedes-Benz W211 E63 AMG Ball Joint Kit: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mercedes-ball-joint-kit-lower-cl500-s430-w211lbjk1?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=mps%20w211&utm_content=front%20control%20arm%20diy Mercedes-Benz W211 E63 AMG Eccentric Bolt: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mercedes-suspension-eccentric-bolt-kit-0003300018?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=mps%20w211&utm_content=front%20control%20arm%20diy This video applies to the following vehicles: Mercedes-Benz E320 2003 Mercedes-Benz E320 Base 2004 Mercedes-Benz E320 Base 2005 Mercedes-Benz E320 Base 2005 Mercedes-Benz E320 CDI 2006 Mercedes-Benz E320 CDI 2007 Mercedes-Benz E320 Bluetec 2008 Mercedes-Benz E320 Bluetec 2009 Mercedes-Benz E320 Bluetec Mercedes-Benz E500 2003 Mercedes-Benz E500 Base 2004 Mercedes-Benz E500 Base 2005 Mercedes-Benz E500 Base 2006 Mercedes-Benz E500 Base Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG 2004 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG 2005 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG 2006 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG 2003 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG Mercedes-Benz CLS500 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS500 Mercedes-Benz CLS55 AMG 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS55 AMG Mercedes-Benz E350 2006 Mercedes-Benz E350 Base 2007 Mercedes-Benz E350 Base 2008 Mercedes-Benz E350 Base 2009 Mercedes-Benz E350 Base Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG 2009 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG 2010 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG 2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG 2007 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG Base 2008 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG Base 2009 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG Base Mercedes-Benz CLS550 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 2009 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 2010 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 Mercedes-Benz E550 2007 Mercedes-Benz E550 Base 2008 Mercedes-Benz E550 Base 2009 Mercedes-Benz E550 Base SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/fcpeuro?sub_confirmation=1?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=subscribe&utm_content=subscribe%20button Get free parts from FCP Euro: https://www.fcpeuro.com/page/lifetime-guarantee Follow FCP Euro on: https://www.facebook.com/fcpeuro https://www.instagram.com/fcpeuro/ https://twitter.com/fcpeuro https://www.fcpeuro.com/
