Hey Guys,


I need to replace the front strut bearings on my car. A few months after I installed my H&R Coil overs, I started to develop an annoying "clunking" sound over small bumps at low speed.


This is a common issue with H&R Coil overs from what I gather, apparently the front strut bearings prematurely fail due to the design of the H&R Struts.


Either way its a simple fix, I just wanted to verify the part number with you guys.


I think all I need is the below part number, for those who are more part number inclined / tech savvy can you please confirm if this part will work a 2010 C63 sedan. Im going to swap out both sides (only the drivers side is making noise) but I figured since i'm in there I would change both of them.


Appreciate your help.

I also have that annoying "clunking" sound. I plan on replacing the strut bearing but I was wondering if it is necessary to replace the upper strut mount. Is that a wear type item?

I have more of a squeak when turning at low speeds, not really a clunk. I also have the H&R coils. Still think strut bearings are the issue?

Kriston

Upper strut mount bearings are usually the first to go with the H&R Coil overs for some reason.


I would suggest just changing the strut mount bearings (they are in-expensive) however labor costs more then the part itself.

Thanks. I ordered them. Hopefully the shop won't charge a lot to replace them. I assume I will need to get another alignment after the install?

Did you ever hear a squeak as well? I get a squeak from Driver Front when I turn the wheel to the left.

Could be the spring seat as well. Haven't pulled it apart yet, just tried cleaning while still on the car.
