Hi All
My S210 has developed a nasty front end squeak. Mostly from one side but I guess whatever needs changing on one side will also need doing on t'other.
I'm going to look at the lower control arm and the top ball joint to find the culprit at the weekend but I was hoping for some advice as to whether they are fairly easy to change?
The squeak worsens with steering wheel movement but is also present over the slightest bump. Its doing my crust in.
I think I'll need a trolley jack and a ball joint splitter but was not sure how to start. I also thought t that I would go the whole hog and order some new springs, anti roll bar bushes and shocks while I had the car off the road and while I was having open wallet surgery.
Thanks
