Replacing the Rear Link

Model: Mercedes Classe S MK 3, W140 - Years 1991-1998
Part: Control arm

To replace the link (commonly known as the rear link), it is recommended to lift the vehicle on a lift and access the link that connects the stabilizer bar to the suspension control arm (it is not necessary to remove the rear wheel); secure the end link with a hex wrench and unscrew the respective retaining nut, both lower and upper, to complete the removal and take out the old link; then insert the new one and reverse the process for installation, ensuring to properly tighten the retaining nuts.
