rear trailing arm bushings in w124?
I've posted before regarding my dad's 300E and its rear camber problem. When looking from the back of the car, you can visibly see the wheels tilt in at the top. I've replaced all the rear control links minus the tie-rod looking one and the sway bar link, but they were in good condition. The wheel camber has changed just a little if any. I spoke with a mechanic at a local indie and he said to look at the rear arm. I can't remember what he called it, but he was talking about the largest arm on the bottom. Is that the trailing arm? It holds the spring, I know of that. Anyways, he thinks that bushing might be bad. If that bushing were bad, wouldn't it cause the wheels to tilt out at the top? It has worn through two used tires within a rather rapid time and it makes the car dangerous to drive in rain or even dry sometimes! So, has anyone replaced this bushing and do you think it will fix it? What tools are needed except the Klann Spring Compressor, (if anyone here has a compressor, I'll rent it from you, you name the terms of course). PM me if you'd like to rent yours out.
Thanks David
