Lower front control arm bushings W211/W210
I have my control arms out and need to replace the bushings. The tool I bought from FCP does not work with the 4matic arms only the thrust arms. I did find this tool but it says it is for the W210 chassis. My bushings look exactly the same but I just want to make sure its the right tool for the job. Thanks!

I purchased a bushing press and pull kit and did all bushings front and rear on my car. $110 for the kit, well made, not particularly fast but it works. You'll want to use a ratchet box-end wrench.

Awesome, thanks for that. I did get the large bushing out but the two small ones will not budge. I went around with my 3lb. hammer and chisel and it raised the metal lip up but the bushing still will not come out. I resorted to buying anew arm but I am still determined to remove the bushings.
