I've got my 76 450sl at the Benz dealer now having the front subframe replaced under the recall... they said I need new control arm bushings both upper and lower on both sides of the car. They also gave me a price tag of $400 just for parts! I've done these on my 71 MGB and it wasn't too bad. Plus I can get the parts for about half of what the dealership wants. Is this a difficult job on the SL? Any special tools necessary?

Thanks

Michael

Michael,

You shouldn't have any problems with that. The only thing may be the springs. Do you have spring claps?

You'll feel a big difference in your ride...
