In what order should I do these jobs?
I’ve got major work to do on the front end of my ’87 420SEL.
What’s the best order to remove and replace these parts considering Im doing this all at the same time. If all goes well I figure the car will be of the jacks stands by Thanksgiving.. Replace upper control arms Replace guide rods Replace lower ball joints Replace idler arm bushing Replace tie rods Replace steering damper Replace front shocks Thanks |
I don't know about order but you might as well do the steering items in one go and the suspension items in another go, then get the car aligned.
Steering items: Replace idler arm bushing Replace tie rods Replace steering damper - is your drag link/center link okay? Suspension items: Replace upper control arms Replace guide rods Replace lower ball joints Replace front shocks - are the guide rod mounts okay? - are the sway bar end and middle bushings okay? There's probably an order to the suspension items but I don't know what it would be. Sixto 95 S420 91 300SE 87 300SDL 83 300SD |
The way I would approach this is to do one SIDE at a time, and pretty much everything on that side at once. It should be apparent on disassembly what needs to be removed, and once all the parts are off - the correct reassembly order.
