2013 GL450
Yep
I've had links done on 2 GL450s between 80--100k miles. Our current GLS 550 has 72k mi but no issues yet.
The parts are around $200 its the labor that adds up. Its a DIY job if you're handy at all.
Good luck,

Big heavy high power high g force car = everything wears fast. Its the price to pay for bending the laws of physics.

Mine has 61k on it now and I feel like it needs to be tightended up in the front again, when I go over speed humps I can feel some movement in the suspension that shimmy's the steering wheel a little, and I feel that at 60mp no matter how much road force balaning Ive had done to my new Michelin PS4 SUV rubber, so Im wondering if its just worn bushes. Mercedes dealer doesnt want to change just bushes, claims that the increased labour time balances out the cost difference in the parts, the bushes are really cheap from MB for these cars, they must sell em loose for a reason right?
