W210 1997 E420 Idle Arm............

Gentlemen, I am about to redo my steering idler arm bushings here at the house. Maybe even the lower ball joints too. Recently I asked for assistance on replacing my console window/mirror switch. Got a really good reply from a Raymond with a video. Basically I am seeking the same kind of info only for the suspension repairs. I have heard that the idler arm bushings will really help the tighness of the steering. Anybody got a tip?

PS: Ordered a set of takeoff 2001 S500 16' chrome wheels. Seven spoke style. They should be here anyday now. Coming from LA. I will use my recently purchased 16' Potenza Turanza LS-H tires. No upsizing for me. I like the original height and ride from the stock OEM's. Would like to get the front end tighened up before I install though................

Thanks in advance.

Jeff

i'd suggest cruising www.mercedesshop.com/shopforum for this info (as well)
as that location is much more hard core in terms of suspension repairs. on
this board, i tend to see mods such as lowering, and fitting of accessories.
there may be something here though...but fewer and far between in degree
of difficulty.
