Hello,

I just noticed that my control arm (right side) is cracked. I can see the inside of the control arm.


Anyone else had this problem before?

Can it be fixed with a weld?

Haven't seen that crack before, but W210s had issues with suspension. Replace it as soon as you can, like now!

better stop using the car and replace the control arm, FAST!!!

You sure it's not the peeling of the outer epoxy surface due to the rust? The first pic makes it look like that to me, something I've seen before, especially in the NE US. Wire it off to make sure. Either way, be cautious and not drive until you know more.

And what kind of shock is that?
www.autohausaz.com carries the Heavy duty Control arm replacements with bushings do the Ball joints replace both control arms L and R (always) and get it properly aligned on a hunter machine.
