Engineered specifically for the Mercedes-Benz W166 and X166 chassis, this kit addresses the common failures of the front suspension system. Over time, the heavy curb weight of these SUVs causes the hydraulic control arm bushings to leak and the ball joints to develop play, resulting in steering wander, clunking noises over bumps, and rapid tire wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eThis set provides a comprehensive solution by including both the main lower control arm (with pre-installed bushings) and the heavy-duty lower ball joint.

The suspension must be at its normal ride height (on the ground or on drive-on ramps) before tightening.
