Mercedes Clk - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Clk W208 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Bushings
Operation: Replacement bushings silent block swing arm suspension

When the silent block bushings of the oscillating arms of the suspensions fail, a lot of noises are heard in the passenger compartment, especially when driving on rough terrain: the collapse of the rubber part is no longer able to attenuate and dampen vibrations; in these cases it is possible to opt for the replacement of the entire oscillating arm or for its regeneration by replacing only the bushings: in any case it is necessary to lift the car and remove the front wheel; then proceed with the disassembly of the fixing pins of the oscillating arm and it would be better to disassemble it completely to replace the bench bushings; but if you want to avoid it, support the suspension with a jack and lower the bush seat in order to extract the old one by making a cut with a hacksaw blade; once the old bushing has been removed, insert the new one with a hammer and reinstall the swinging arm.

First of all we lift the car and go to locate the gear oil vent bolt, which we find near the transmission; we use a hex wrench to unscrew it, letting it drain the old oil in a container for about ten minutes. At this point we open the bonnet and remove the air intake sleeve, so as to be able to access the gearbox oil filling hole; then we fill up to the maximum level!
