2002 e55 w211 ....
just crashed my e55!!!!! bent suspension
hi guys
just mounted a kurb which was 10in high and have destroyed the wheel and bent the front suspension......
it could have been much worse mind you.....
with this im wondering if you can answer a few things so i can make sure i get right bits....
1 - does anyone have a drawing of front end suspension?
2 - are TOP and Lower arms same w210 to w210?? or does e55 have special ones?
im assuming its these as the front wheel now sits 1 inch nearer drivers door and in towards car by about .5in....
any help / advice would be great

From what I have gathered, it appears that all 99-02 E class use the same upper and lower control arms. Do a little research for peace of mind. Good luck. And, sorry for your mishap.

Looks like that all w210 got the same control arms.
found just one on ebay, and it is good for every model
