Guide arm bushings sound like another way of saying control arm bushings. Try rmeuropean.com or getmercedesparts.com
If you buy just the bushings you'll have to take it somewhere that has a press. If you don't want to bother you can buy the entire control arm that comes with the bushing.
Do you have front end play/noise/vibrations? How many miles do you have? They'd probably tell me to replace mine but my car drives/tracks just fine @ 88k miles.

I would rather buy the whole control arm? know where I can find a good one? is it a hard install?
thanks alot for your help man I know I have a lot of questions..
I am at 57K miles, as far as steering wheel play if thats what u mean yes .. I have to put some pressure on the wheels to the left cuz it pulls to the right
vibration- once I pass 75mph the car does have a MINIMAL vibration but u could still feel it .. the other day it got bad though my passenger seat looked like it was having a sezeiure..
88k and u track it? damn I wish mine was too
ur lucky shes still running like a queen

Oh wait.. no I don't track my C230. I meant it doesn't push/pull or vibrate at any speed up to and exceeding triple digits. It runs and drives beautifully - just as much now as it did at 25k miles.

I believe it is the lower ones that are often the problems, but I am not sure. It couldn't hurt to replace both sides upper and lower especially if your car is having drivability issues.

no if you buy the whole link you dont need to press , just unbolt and remove old and pop in the new one, just torque it ot the correct spec............
but if you go cheap and say just wann buy the end ribber links then you will need to press them in......
