2015-2021 Mercedes-Benz W205 Control Arm Replacement DIY  (C300, C400, C43 AMG, & C450 AMG)

►Mercedes-Benz W205 front control arm replacement is one of the simplest DIY jobs you can tackle to restore the handling of your W205.

Control arms are a crucial link in a vehicle’s suspension, connecting the suspension to a vehicle’s subframe. These pieces are usually hinged to allow for the suspension to travel and articulate as the vehicle rides over obstructions in the road and while the vehicle turns. Many vehicles, such as those with independent suspensions, have multiple links and feature several connection points and arms to offer better ride quality and comfort.

As bushings and joints in a control arm begin to wear, you may notice a looseness feel in your suspension. While many arms have replaceable and serviceable individual components, many still require the replacement of the entire arm. If you’re feeling any play in the suspension, notice any uneven tire wear, or can hear a buckling noise coming from the suspension – it’s time to take a look at those control arms.

In this video, Kyle Bascombe, FCP Euro’s Mercedes-Benz Catalog Manager, takes us through removing and installing the new control arms for your Mercedes W205. This job is fairly straightforward and doesn’t require the use of any specialty tools.

Thanks a lot for that valuable video, but if you please, can you make another video showing how to replace the left upper control arm, because it’s so confusing that one of the nuts is very deep and hidden by the fuse box and other components!!! It seems to to be impossible to reach that stupid nut without removing tons of parts in the way!!
I’ll appreciate it if you give me a hint on this because I’m planning to to do this job on this weekend.

Suf says:

Is there any major differences with the W205 C63 AMG on this job?

Joshua Mitchell says:

Helpful tip, the nut in the engine bay on the driver side is under the fuse box. Remove the two bolts holding the fuse box and lift the fuse box out of the way to access it.

Hi
Solution to the stiff amg suspension on the w205?
Any way to make it softer to soak bumps and bad roads better?
Bought the w205 c200 with amg suspension not knowing it's so stiff

Josue Abreu says:

Well done video. Thanks for making it.

Brian Mueller says:

Do you guys plan to do a similar video with the w212? Seems like you started to address the platform and then nothing after.
