It's suspension refresh time lads and ladies!
OK, so I've got a 2009 with tired suspension (115K).
the creaks groans and pops are getting old when I'm tooling around town, so its time to dig into the suspension.
I'm looking into bushings on the forum and I'm not finding much other than springs and camber plate talk.
So what I'm looking for here is a "C63 tired suspension bushing kit/plan"
My first assumption is that I'd like to go poly because I had great success with those on my older cars. Does anyone have any experience with replacing stock bushings with poly and how it improved (or did NOT improve).
Does anyone have any recommendations on which bushings wear the worst and are going to be the most likely culprit of suspension knocks?

K-Mac has all the bushings in urethane, adjustable for front camber and caster and for the rear camber and toe. They also have a bushing kit for the rear control arms.

No one has messed with the stock bushings in the front end?
I find this surprising.
I found this on the energy suspension site:

They have a good bit of the front parts.
I'll keep digging and update this post on what I do and maybe this thread will help someone in the future who looks to do the same thing.

W212, but same difference ^
In short - inspect your ARB droplinks/endlinks. Relatively inexpensive to replace and really can help to tighten things up to where they should be.
