Can anyone suggest where can I get the lower control arms for e430 4matic. They are different than the usual e320 or other cars as they came with strut shocks absorber. I’m attaching a sample picture of the front lower control arm I am looking for ..

Lower control arm for 2001 e430 4matic

According to EPC, parts # required if you don't have Factory Xenon would be:

A2103303707 - Left
A2103303807 - Right

In case you have Xenon it would be:

A2103306907 - right instead, left stays the same.

If you could share your VIN I could be 100% with the part numbers as these seem different than the ones you have in the picture.

Hey thanks for replying, I have the same numbers but i could be wrong as well they may be different as this is e430 4matic with strut suspension .

Lower right 2103306907
Lower left 2103303707

this vin is
WDBJF83JX1X056394

Also where can I get the arms from too?

Your par numbes match with what I have on EPC via VIN so that's settled. As for where to buy them, no Lemforder seems to be in sight for that based on the research I've done on FCPEuro & Pelican Parts. Might have to bite the bullet and buy it from Mercedes. Why do you want to change them exactly?

Thanks!

The bushings are bit old and the control arm is being used for over 18 years. Thought I might replace them; Although they look perfect ... I have some pictures of bushings and I don’t know if I should just lubricate them, or somehow replace them. you can zoom in on bushing and see some lines forming ...which probably means replacement needs to be done ..,

There is a Repair Kit for the bushings, no need to replace the control arm especially if it's in a great physical condition.

Part # for the repair kit is A 210 330 05 75, FCPEuro has it (one kit for each control arm): https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mer...ine-2103300575

The process is quite involved from what I've seen on WIS, I suggest you take it to a good local indie or if you have deep pockets, the dealership.

I was thinking of just somehow replacing only the bushings of my last option is to get from dealership but it’s nothing on priority for me, but thank you for sharing the kit link and information. Thank you so much

I too am needing the front lowers, but apparently none of the Mercedes’ dealerships have them anymore and I can’t find any aftermarket? Any ideas? I was going to just rebuild the bushings but the arms are freaking themselves

Hi as above #8 not only do we manufacture the 4 front “uprated” replacement bushing but they are also precisely (single wrench) Camber and Caster adjustable (only Toe “directional” adjustment OEM) !

Bush extraction tool included - so can fit without need for arm removal.

Separate front kit for ‘4 MATIC’ and also we manufacture “rear kit” which also provides Camber adjustment for the 1st time (and “extra” Toe adjustment to compensate).

Like front single wrench adjustable and bush extraction tool included allowing fitment without need for arm removal.
