So after I paid seller messages me saying they messed on up shipping and
want an additional $33 so that puts it about $108. I guess that is
still a decent deal? Maybe?

On the other hand, if the inner bushings needs to be replaced it might
be better off to just to replace the whole control arm.

Saw-z-all, torch, various pullers, lots of strong language.
Speaking of blue language, my daughter came up with "son of a
mother-less banana" for a writing assignment. I thought that was clever.

How did you get the bushings out?
On 11/2/2019 8:49 PM, Max Dillon via Mercedes wrote:
The big honking C clamp that weighs twenty pounds, their universal
ball joint tool set. Use that to press in the two halves of the
bushing, the hole at the end gives access so you can peen the
sleeve outward.

What HF tool did you use to do the bushings?

If you get it, I'd like to borrow it when you're done. :)
Here's the "proper" inner bushing tool, Sir Tools M0062, on this
page for
$365.
https://www.samstagsales.com/mercedes.htm
I have done several sets of inner bushings with the HF tool and a
ball peen
hammer to peen open the sleeve that holds the two halves together.
Do yourself a favor and get four of the eccentric bolts for
adjusting the
inner control arms, they are probably rusted solid in the old
joints and
you'll never get them to turn.

I am getting ready to do ball joints on a 201. I have done a 124
before
using the HF tool and some sections of cast iron pipe
connections for
adapters. With this setup I got it done on the 124 years ago but
it was
a pain in the ass. I have located the pipe pieces I used but in the
move I have no idea where the HF ball joint tool went to. I
figure this
would be a good time to just get the proper one. So, with that
said,
what is the proper tool? Car has about 180K on it, should I just
pull
the control arms and replace the bushings also? That requires
another
special tool to press those in and out?
