Upper control arm alarming close to tyres
Hi All,
Recently put some new 20'" wheels on my w216 cl500. Noticed the other day that the upper control arm is alarmingly close to the tyres at the front. I had no idea until seeing this after a 300mile round trip where I didn't experience any issues with rubbing and checking the bushings there's no evidence its ripping up any tyre.
Does anyone have any experience with any aftermarket control arms that are a bit wider and therefore give a bit more clearance? Based in UK.
Thanks,
Gurpal
