DIY 4matic front lower and upper control arms

Here is a DIY video of my replacement for upper and lower control arms. I didn't record the install of the sway bar, as I'm waiting for it to be delivered. If someone wants to do this procedure, I can sell you my lower control arms with new bushings. Buying these new would be 1000 from Mercedes. Let's add to this thread to make it easier for the next person replacing their 4matic lower control arms.
