Im looking at directions for the W204, so im assuming the X204 is the same.
The rear subframe has to be lowered to replace 3 of the control arms. To replace the thrust arm the stop plates have to be removed which requires removing the two front bolts in the subframe. Seems like a real pain, I have some rear control arms I want to replace and holding off until I get everything to do at one time.
Yes just chase the threads and blow out. There is a note to even use new bolts. On mine I would probably get new bolts since I have a New England car and things are rusty under there. I even bought new stop plates because mine look rusted.
