Hi Michael,
Control/Castor arm is the same thing. Sorry, we all call them different things around the world. I'm pleased they are being honest with you because that is a known weakness on the W203

yeuchau

i checked my paper work, the control arms were replaced about 30k miles ago, and i guess it's going bad again??
Is that normal, i would think 30k miles is too soon to replace control arms

Glyn M Ruck

Thats about right. These had done 27,000 miles on my car.

Update:

going to get new tips for my muffler, just order the tips similar to below.


tips will be here next week, maybe wednesday or thursday and will put it on by the weekend.

yeuchau

yap, the turbo style, that's been in my mind for a while, just don't know how it will look, but i'll give it a try..

eesjunin

i thought you were going back to stock and seling your car? great to see your mind's changed

eesjunin

i was looking at these two when i was lookng for some tips, but i coudnt find anything that didnt break my bank....mad props if you get these or are you trying to have the shop fanagle you a set liek this?

yeuchau

don't recall that i said i am going back to stock and sell the car, but anyway.
as for the tips, the shop ordered them from the manufacture for me.

yeuchau

the shop installed the AVIC for me. won't be lowering my car, i think it's fine as is..

i think after i change the tips, i will swap to the other set of wheels, so it looks a bit more sporty.

yeuchau

just couple quick pics, will take more during later on.

XsuperbeeX

not bad... but need a day time pics to do the justice...

Glyn M Ruck

I think that looks neat & different - not chintzy - I like the way they are stepped back unlike your original pic - nice

omg its nate

Looks great!

anthonyy

yeuchau
