Mercedes Classe M - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe M W163 - Years 1997-2005
Part: Tires
Operation: Check front wheel play

One way to ascertain the failure is to lift the car with a jack or suitable car stands, grab the wheel and shake it in order to check for any play. If this play is felt, proceed with the disassembly of the wheel and inspect the suspension elements: in the case in question, the head of the steering box tie rod has been broken; replacement is very simple.
