I have to replace the DS lower transverse control arm (2033300307) on a 2003 C320 4matic.
The ball joint is shot.
Does anyone have access to the WIS with the "how to's" for this control arm.
There seems to be a fair bit of "up" force on the arm from the bushings when the ball joint is loosened from the knuckle.
I expected the control arm to just fall slack....it doesn't, keeps pushing up...so I'm thinking there must be a special procedure for installation as opposed to your normal lower control arm.
If someone is good enough to share it then please post it or PM me.
Thanks

The bolt is tightened at normal ride height, not with the suspension fully extended.

Thanks .... I did know that...but at normal ride height there still is alot of up pressure on the arm at the ball joint.
OK, thanks again.
I guess there isn't anything special about it.....anybody know the torque number for the bushing bolts?
