Keep your Mercedes-Benz front suspension tight and quiet with the Delphi Suspension Control Arm Bushing TD397W. This is the front, lower, inner forward control arm bushing, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1994-1996 Mercedes-Benz C220, 1997-2000 C230, 1994-2000 C280, 1995-1997 C36 AMG, and 1998-2000 C43 AMG (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level detail). A worn bushing can allow excess movement in the control arm, showing up as clunking on acceleration or over uneven roads, imprecise steering, and uneven tire wear — if a failed bushing is the cause, this replaces it.
