Rear airmatic shock lower bushing
Been searching for hours on forums and the web for the lower bushing that goes on my 2000 s500 with airmatic.
I have the typical creaking in the rear end and feel this is a cheap fix if it is indeed the problem. I also understand from researching that I will need to purchase the tool remover M0085 for around $100, which I am willing to invest.
I have changed the front lower ball joint so I have an idea of what its going to take and the Arnott video on removing the shock really helps too.
I guess what makes researching the part cumbersome is that MB expects you to replace the entire shock and not just a bushing on the shock. Forums have told me otherwise but those successful in changing didn't list part name or number.
If anyone can send a link I would greatly appreciate it.
