There are many components in the precisely engineered suspension on your Mercedes-Benz & some of the most important parts are the thrust arms, control arms and camber struts. All of these work together to tie the rear spindle to vehicle chassis, while keeping the alignment angles in check. Over time, these parts and their bushings can become worn from constant fatigue and exposure to the elements. ECS assembled, Genuine OEM, and aftermarket kits include everything you need to replace all the rear thrust arms, control arms and camber struts.

Why use wheel studs instead of wheel bolts? When removing and installing wheels that utilize the factory wheel bolts the process can be frustrating, holding the wheel up with your legs, lining up the holes, and threading the bolts all at the same time. Wheel studs also allow the use of varying length wheel spacers - a highly convenient feature for those that anticipate using different spacer size setups in the future.

The modern closed PCV/Breather system is intended to recirculate combustion blow-by gases for cleaner operation and to reduce greenhouse gases. An unfortunate consequence of this system is the ingestion of oil vapor and carbon, leaving harmful deposits on a vehicle's intake valves and ports, resulting in an unreliable air/fuel ratio, lost compression, and decreased power. The Mishimoto Baffled Oil Catch Can is a bolt on design engineered to reduce carbon build up, by improving oil/air separation restoring engine efficiency and power.

A simple way to check your bearing is to lift the wheel off the ground and try to move the tire back and forth, by pushing the top and bottom of the tire in. If there is play, this commonly means the wheel bearing has failed.
