Not sure if this has been mentioned.... Mercedes brake pads are now asbestos free, most car manufacturers are ,, which means they are harder.... think you can still get pads which are softer and more efficient .. not sure if they are completely free of asbestos tho'.. Sent from my Nexus 5 using...

I replaced both arms on the o/s and n/s on my CL earlier this year ... stub axle bottom pivot was a bugger but the antiroll bar bushes were OK .... thing is I couldn't see how the caster and camber could be adjusted ..the mounting holes were not elongated !!!!. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Glad you are keeping CL original with regard to ABC .. my CL600 96,000mls has all the original vac hoses and runs at higher temp than your average engine. those in the US might deteriate quicker.. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I love the ride of the ABC system and from the feedback I have read the coil overs do not give the same comfort although I have not experienced the ride..For example there is no compensation when cornering. I have had most of my system apart and have found that removal of valve blocks and...

Craig, Had to paint them red to match the rears, ;);):D:D

Replaced bottom track control arms complete with new bottom swivel ball joint on the n/s/f. Bit of hassle getting the two alan key grub screws out as they are loctited in therefore heat had to be applied to enable them to free off. Will do the o/s/f later. Not sure how to adjust/reset the castor...

Thought you would like to see what I've been up to lately. Removed front crossmember. Had it shot blasted and powder coated ( Maldon powder coating and short-blasting Co. ). Painted gloss black. Fitted new rubber mounts and reassembled . Had to support the chassis and the engine independently...
