I am about to replace my front end suspension (leaking) bushings. I would like to know before I get the arm off if they are pressed in? Some parts books call this a control arm but this is the smaller arm with just a ball joint on the other end. thanks for any info

If this is the bushing on the lower control arm, which is inboard, then yes you need a hand tool press to remove and replace them. I bought one like this and it worked great: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-Benz-Front-Sub-Frame-Torque-Strut-Bushing-Tool-/371451862532?hash=item567c419e04&item=371451862532&vxp=mtr
If you want to purchase mine (used once) at a discount, send me a PM and we can work out a deal. Note you will also need a ball joint breaker tool, which I can also provide. Just don't need the tools any more, so why not pass them on.
