Got alignment done on my 07 @ the dealer and the dealer is saying that I need to replace the lower control arm Part Number: 2113309207 and the bushing Part Number: 2113331114 on both sides online that's over $527 in genuine parts. Has anyone changed out front suspension parts on their E63 and is it worth going for OEM or are generics just as good? Also if generic are as good what brand generic are recommended?


Thanks

Germany made Lemforder W211 Lower Control Arm Ball Joint OEM Quality $180

Coreteco Mercedes Control Arm Bushing Front Inner up/lo (x2) OEM upper or lower $55

so it seems you can save a little over $100 using vendors that make a lot of parts for our cars - some are OEM too

Your links are taking me to Amazon and saying will not work on my E63 are these E55 parts? are E55 and E63 front suspension parts different?


Also while a 100 bucks is not bad is it worth going to none Genuine parts?


I was looking on Ebay where you can get a set for $150 for both left and right and bushings for $15 each that's about $180 over $300 cheaper now that seems worth it if those parts are in par with OEM.

crap didn't realize E63 - should be able to do a quick search for the right ones

Lemforder is as far as I would go, other than Meyle.

They make the parts for MB.

The ebay parts are probably not any of those.

Meyle or Lemforder makes the parts for MB?

Yes. They use various suppliers. Automobile manufacturers are more assemblers.
