Mercedes Bushings Parts

The word Mercedes has come to mean so much in the worldwide auto market industry, including quality, creative design, and dependability. Mercedes has been producing top tier vehicles and parts since their founding, many years ago. Their history is one of the best, wrought with experience, elite standards, and advancements that have put them ahead of the game. Mercedes prides themselves on high standards in manufacturing automobiles, suspension parts, bushing parts, and their components. Mercedes suspension parts and bushings are a necessary product for every Mercedes vehicle. FCP Euro carries Mercedes suspension bushings in a variety of shapes, sizes and thicknesses, depending on which make and model of vehicle. Bushings help to alleviate wear to the suspension parts by absorbing vertical and lateral forces, created by the vehicle over different types of ground. They cushion and absorb the shock on the chassis to keep it from getting to the passenger section. While absorbing these vibrations, the bushings still allow partial movement and flex in the suspension joints. This keeps the wheels grounded and stable during any turning. There are a number of ways to help diagnose an improper functioning Mercedes suspension bushing. By taking a test-drive over terrain that has a decent amount of road surfaces, like dirt roads, rough pavement, speed bumps or curves. During the drive make sure to listen for any suspension noises. Clunks and squeaks will be the first indicators that there are worn or cracked suspension bushings. Loud clunks while turning the wheel in different directions may also point to a bushing issue. Pay attention to if the Mercedes pulls or drifts to the left or right. If any of these are occurring, park the vehicle and pull up the emergency brake. Take a look at each tire, particularly the front and look for irregular wear patterns. Tires worn on the severe inside (negative wear) or outside (positive wear), will let you know you have a misalignment. This can be bushing and suspension linked. If there are scalloped cups in the tire tread, this indicates shock or strut problems, which also carry smaller scale bushings.

After the initial test drive you can also lift the Mercedes hood and find the top shock or strut tower inside fender well. There you can see a rubber bushing sitting beneath a spacer at the crown of the shock mount. Observe the bushing for any malformation. This could include a crushed or flattened look, as well as cracking or splitting. Proceed to push it down a few times. Check to see if the rubber bushing disconnects temporarily from its compression on the sides. If so, this will be a sign of a crushed and worn bushing. From this point you can also check the rear shocks the same way. FCP Euro's trained and certified team is continuously obtainable for any and all support or questions.
