E300D lower control arm replacement
Well I started yesterday on the lower control arms. The spring came out easily with the Klann compressor. The ball joint was tough the remove and I ended up cutting the nut off. The bad news is the control arm is rusty and crumbled somewhat while pressing its bushing out. I ordered two new ones. I guess this is from the salt corrosion in upstate NY. I will replace the ball joints and the sway bar links while I'm doing the job.
Otherwise, it has been medium level of difficulty to do.
Pictures attached show the first few steps.
