MB'ers:

Backed into a parked truck bumper with my 2000 CLK430 and screwed up the alignment and placement of the left rear wheel (too far forward in the wheel well and wheel turned everso slightly outward in the front of the wheel well).

I need to know how to take the rear suspension apart in order to determine what is bent/needs to be replaced so I can pick up parts from the wrecking yard.

Anyone know where I can find an exploded diagram for the rear suspension? Also, are there any "special" tools needed to break down the rear suspension?

Any guidance here would be sincerely appreciated.

Thank you,
Andy Anderson

This is a picture on club202.com which is very similar to w208:


These diagrams are from EPC:

1. Rear Axle:


2. Rear Axle Suspension:


3. Rear Torsion Bar:


Since this is on the left (driver side), you should not worry about the Headlight Leveling Sensor.
