Can anyone recommend tool for 4matic front control arm bushing? Anyone tried baum tools b220-0643 on W164? I need to replace bushings on 2011 ML350 4matic.
Thank you!

Is this for the front lower control arm, which you never mentioned?

That's right. Front lower

Baum tools are the best, but very expansive. Investing in the tool could be a one time use.

An option in the case of an expensive tool is to use it, then list for sale on this site and eBay.

Tools sell readily.

I don't mind to pay for that tool if it will works. Still cheaper than new lemforder control arm and I can use it on my W203 as well. I just don't know whether it will work with W164 chassis.

Hi,
I know this bushing in red can be replaced but are the other bushings (the small ones) also replaceable? If yes does anyone have the part number for these bushings from Lemforder?
Thank you!

Maj. Dundee

Are you asking for part numbers for a W164 vehicle?

These bushings go by vin#.

artim808

Yes, those bushing can be replaced if you have proper tool. The one I need is 1643330314

Thank you. I have te replace one of the three bushings in the lower control arm and considering the control arm has to be removed its worth replacing even the other bushings.

looks like a standard ball joint press would probably work for the bushing you are referring to. You can rent them from auto zone. Just did the ones on my Volvo, used my shop press in the garage, but Ball joint press would also work.
