Front Lower Control arms for 2001 e430 4matic?

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 ..

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.

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

Do point out we manufacture replacement bushings for the lower arms on all W210 including 4 MATIC - in fact front and rear for every model Mercedes 1968 to 2019!!


Not only replacement, but also providing precise Camber and Caster adjustment for the 1st time

Complete with bush extraction tool eliminating the need for time consuming removal of arms and then requiring a press to remove the OEM bushings.

KMAC performance elastomer bushings also providing twice the load bearing area. The unique patented design allows single wrench adjustment - accurately (under load) direct on alignment rack..

Similar rear kit also with bush extraction tool providing Camber (and extra Toe adjustment to compensate for the new rear Camber facility).

Another popular item K-MAC uprated bushings for the 6 multi link rear arms. Less twitch / flex, loss of traction, especially when applying power to lane change / overtake.

KMAC has the experience of being the world's longest established adjustable Strut top and Bushing kit manufacturer with largest range Audi to Volvo.

W210 4 MATIC FRONT Camber & Caster Kit #502416 K $480
Non 4 MATIC FRONT Camber & Caster Kit #502116 K $480
Rear Camber (extra Toe) Kit #502026 H $320
Rear Uprated Multi Link Bush Kit #501528 K $480

See front page of web site (KMAC Mercedes Catalog - Page 5 showing Quick Reference listing)

Delivery $30 one kit ($20 each extra)
PayPal, Visa or M/Card

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.
