Hi Guys
My year 2000 slk 200 failed its MOT today The inspector said the rear nearside outer lower suspension arm bushing had collapsed. Can any one please identify the part as there are lots of arms in there behind the rear wheel. Also any tips on removal of the old bushing would be handy as I believe they aint easy to get out and put the new one back in. Thanks for any tips

 

Need to ask the inspector or determine for yourself which bush has failed.
Replacement process depends on which of the bushes has failed.
Likewise some bushes come as part of the replacement link others are replaceable without changing the whole link.
This is not a beginner DIY job.

The bush thatconnects the hub to the lower control arm is the culprit. Are there tools I can get to extract bushes?

 

Those bushes are a bugger to remove. Yes you can get a puller but they are as exp as a new arm.Get a price a on an arm 1st

Thanks for all the help guys. Looks like I will have to bite the bullet on this one and get a garage to do the job as its a bugger!!
