What are all the replaceable bushings and mounts on a GLK?
Im thinking of keeping my GLK a bit longer since the engine and transmission are still good. However it drives a bit funky over bumps and such. The shocks and struts have been replaced last year with Bilstein. What are the locations of the mounts and bushings that can be replaced to make it feel tight and new again? The car is at 160,000 kms. I would like to DIY this.
Thanks!

My idea would be to contact Fcp Euro and have them send you what you need, they guarantee everything they sell for life. But I would get it on a lift and check everything. It might be only one piece, replacing everything might not be needed. My mechanic checked mine all for free knowing he would get the job. I think any tire shop would gladly put it on a lift and show you exactly what’s bad.

Engine and transmission mounts
Lower control arm assembly
outer tie rod
Upper control arm+upper ball joint
lower ball joint if not part of lower control arm

Mercedes calls the stabilizer bar the “torsion bar” if you don’t see the word “stabilizer” in your parts list search.
