Rear Anti Roll Bar bush mounts, link nuts and bolts
Hello my c220 S203 is pretty corroded and I attempted to fix play in the anti roll bar by replacing the links and the 2 bushes.
after an hour trying to get the lower link bolt out (11mm ring and 16mm socket) I rounded off the nut.
I then moved onto the bush screws (E10) they started to move, I’d sprayed and brushed and picked at it for a while.
Anyway after 4 progressive attempts to get the screws out I managed to break off the fixed nuts on the back of the bush mounts.
I’m looking for the part numbers and some links to purchase in the UK. I’ve asked a mate in the trade but I’m expecting a dealer only reply.
I’m also looking for an in-depth video on anti corrosion measures.
This can’t be an uncommon problem and I tried more cleaning, wiggling tight and loose but I still managed to break the back but off the bush mounts.
surely bolt replacement is a logical answer for the links at least then I could cut or break the nuts.
as for the bush mounts I’m thinking new bolts and nuts on the old bracket or new brackets.
Autodocs Guy does it all effortlessly, his car must be better maintained.
This is really giving me the desire to learn how to better prevent the corrosion in the first place
