Hi everyone.
I need to overhaul a fairly tired suspension system on my C209 CLK55. I have some cracked bushes on the lower arms and a bit of play in the track control arm.
The question is: do I buy a complete kit direct from Mercedes or is there someone else you can recommend for "quality" products?

I don't want to stiffen it up any more as track days are not what I am aiming for. So polly bushed probally not for me.

As an ex-technichian, I know the cheap crap only lasts 12 months, so that is not an option. :rolleyes:

I use Daparto who are a basically a comparison site but give the best prices on OE, they don't have a UK site but may deliver through their suppliers. Best prices I've found and fast delivery, payment through PayPal.

Yes they are OE, I would assume the likes of ECP or GSF can help. AD been getting a lot of stick lately
I just had a very smooth Autodoc transaction recently, arrived in under a week . But yes some people have had issues
