Where should this part be installed?

This is designed for the front axle, specifically in the upper, outer position.

Do I need a professional to install this?

Should I replace the bushings on both sides of the axle?

Yes, it is highly recommended to replace suspension bushings in pairs (left and right) to ensure balanced handling and even wear.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty pressing the new bushing into the control arm

Ensure the control arm eyelet is perfectly clean and free of corrosion. Use a professional-grade hydraulic press rather than a hammer to avoid distorting the bushing shell.

Persistent squeaking noise after installation

Check that the bushing is fully seated in its housing and that all mounting hardware is torqued to the manufacturer's specified value while the vehicle is at ride height.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Meets or exceeds original equipment manufacturing standards
  • High-grade material construction for extended component lifespan
  • Precise dimensions ensure secure fitment in designated suspension positions
  • Improves overall vehicle handling and suspension responsiveness

Cons

  • Requires professional-grade tools for proper installation
  • Limited compatibility strictly to specific vintage Mercedes-Benz models
  • May require professional alignment services after installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure correct compatibility, you must cross-reference your vehicle's VIN and current suspension configuration against the 117mm/142mm/130mm dimensions of this part. This bush is intended for the front axle, specifically the upper, outer position. Installation typically requires a hydraulic press to safely remove the old bushing and seat the new Delphi TD468W without damaging the control arm. For care, avoid using petroleum-based lubricants on the rubber surface as this can accelerate degradation; instead, use only approved rubber-safe assembly lubricants if necessary during installation. Inspect the bushings annually during tire rotations for signs of cracking or excessive play.
