Keep your Mercedes-Benz tracking straight and your rear suspension located with the Beck/Arnley Lateral Arm 102-6153 (also written 1026153). This is the rear forward lateral arm, a direct-fit replacement across a wide range of Mercedes-Benz models — including the 190D, 190E, 300E, C230, C280, C320, CLK320, E320, E430, SL500, SLK230, SLK350 and many more (see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full year-by-year list and engine details).
A lateral arm locates the suspension and helps maintain proper wheel alignment. If worn arm bushings are the cause, you may notice clunking or knocking over the suspension, imprecise steering, or uneven tire wear — signs this part may need replacing. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
