4matic upper control arms
Hello all,
I'm about to rebuild the entire front and rear suspension on my '00 E430 T 4matic. I've managed to source most parts, but I'm struggling with front upper control arms. I've got new bushings, but the arms with its ball joint seem hard to find.
The parts numbers are A2103304107 and A2103303907. Has anyone successfully replace just the ball joint?
Kind regards,

Well, it is obtainable in the US, but Mercedes in Europe doesn’t provide them anymore. $600 each plus shipping and excise seems a bit steep.
The reason for me asking is that I have new polyurethane bushings. Maybe a mechanical workshop could make new ones with a replaceable ball joint? I’ll have to look into that.
