2012 S350 Front lower suspension arm replacement.

[Malcolm Johnson]

Hi Guys,
Need to replace both my front Suspension arms the steel ones which are on the vertical and support the air strut. One side was a advisory at last years Mot but has got worse this year, the other side now creaks like a door opening and is also loosened.

is it just a case unbolting, and supporting the air strut, no special tools ?


Any advice would be much appreciated

Hello Malcom,

I have the exact same suspension arms to replace, did you find a video to help you, as I’ve searched on you tube and I can’t find anything. I would appreciate any diagrams or video you found useful which may help me

Many Thanks
Richard

You'll almost certainly need to redo the tracking afterwards.
