Mercedes Suspension Control Arm Bushing - Delphi TD397W

Product Information

Control arms are links that help connect and stabilize the vehicle's suspension to the subframe of the vehicle. Many vehicle’s, while varying in suspension layout, will have control arms with serviceable bushings and/or joints on either end where they meet the undercarriage or spindle of the vehicle.

As the rubber on these bushings degrades or cracks they will no longer provide a rigid connection and cause problems in handle and ride quality. Often times to save time and cost it is possible to press out the original worn bushing and press in a replacement instead of replacing the complete control arm. Common failure symptoms of faulty control arms bushings include:

• Uneven tire wear and inability to align vehicle
• Poor handling characteristics
• Loud clunking, metal on metal sounds, suspension buckling
• Vibration or wobble in the steering wheel
• Banging sound over bumps
