How to Remove the Control Arm of the Mercedes 124

Model: Mercedes Classe E W212 - Years 2009-2016
Part: Control arm

Replacing the control arm on the Mercedes E-Class is not a difficult task, especially if you are already familiar with cars. Additionally, with the help of our video tutorial, you will learn how to do it independently. Start by lifting the car and removing the tire. Use WD-40 spray and a wire brush to clean the control arm bolt, then remove it. At this point, take out the control arm and clean the housing before inserting the new one. Insert the new control arm and install the bolt you removed earlier. Reinstall the tire and tighten it. This procedure is the same for all four wheels.
