Help with replacing parts

[jcapp]

Well, I’m sure most of you know that the weather in the northeast has not been pleasant. The other day I had a decision to make. A collision with a car that was spinning out of control or the curb. I picked the curb. Now my 2002 C230 is left with a bent control arm and tie rod. I am fairly mechanical and I have no problem replacing these parts. I just need some information on how to do it. That would be, what is involved and are there any special tools required. I know once I am done I need an alignment. Also, I had the car on a lift, and everything else looks good.
Your help is appreciated. I hope to hear from some of you soon. And take some advice; don’t be driving around in a 2002 C230 with summer tires in the snow.

Regards,
John
