Are the W220 front lower control arms identical to my 2005 W215 except for the sway bar ball-joint ???
I ordered a set of W220 and they set the shock closer to the outer end of the arm ??? Maybe the wrong
parts ??

 

Really ! spend a few minutes and give it a shot. The Benz forums are folks of few words

 

Yes same thing minus the sway bar mounts.

If you are deleting ABC I'm in the market for Valve block for parts.

 

I own an 03 s600 v12tt and recently deleted my ABC struts and replaced them with coilovers. I will removing the rest of the ABC system: valve blocks, hoses and accumulators soon and will be available for anyone interested. I just blew a hose and did not want to deal with ABC in the future. PM me if you are interested.

 

LOL

 

How is an answer to your question off topic.

 

The question was about the control arms, they are not the same. The replacement and original are different ... so your reply was incorrect. I'm looking for information not
sales inquiries.

 

OK, well if you want to sell your old parts let me know. I'm looking to buy them.
People use them for the swaps all the time. The slight offset isn't going o change anything at the end of the day

 

Old thread but correct answer is that the control arms are not the same. Airmatic arms will fit and allow for the use of a front sway bar due to the mount included on the arm, but the strut mount is also mounted outward slightly from the ABC arm. Airmatic arm works well for a coilover conversion.

 

What old parts are you buying?

 

Valve blocks
