Firm up a worn front suspension pivot with the LEMFORDER control arm bushing (part number 2872901). It installs as a direct-fit replacement for many Mercedes-Benz models, among them the 2007-2009 Mercedes-Benz SL550, 2011-2012 Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG and 2004-2009 Mercedes-Benz SL600; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine-level detail. Serving the front lower rearward mounting point, this suspension control arm bushing locates the control arm and lets it move through its arc while helping isolate road vibration and noise — LEMFORDER lists it as a trailing arm mounting repair kit.
A worn bushing can let the control arm shift, throwing off suspension geometry. If a failed front lower rearward bushing is the cause of clunks, wander, or uneven tire wear, this replaces it.
