lower suspension rear arms R and L for front wheels
All,
Just failed my MOT for my S500L (01) 90k. The car has hydraulic suspension and ABC.
The mechanic tells me that the lower suspension rear arms R and L for front wheels and ball joints need replacing. He tells me these parts are not available OEM and are mercedes parts costing £220+ vat per side!!!!
Can anyone help me find the exact part numbers? and if there are any OEM suppliers? How much labour time/costs?
Thanks

Your mechanic might be right.
www.rockauto.com sells non-OEM parts at much more reasonable price, about $100-150 per side.
www.pars.com offers Mercedes replacement parts around $250-300 per side. Visit the sights to see.
parts.com shows blown-up diagrams of suspension structure, quite useful.
Real OEM are nowhere to find, but you may want to do more search on the net.
Good luck.
