My people, my car now drives like a brand new car. The right shocks, right lower control arm and the tie rod end for both sides were the culprits. I had them checked by a friend's mechanic in Ibadan and trust me, my car has never felt this stable since I got it.

Mercedes is just a very nice car, too nice, too sweet. I'll never buy a japmobile lai lai....# Mercedesallday #Benzgang #Benzornothing

I'll advise y'all to leave that frustrated derailer, he has no idea what he is missing, the feel of the Mercedes is just inexplicable.

I spent just 35k for changing parts, workmanship and settling boys and I have been smiling since last week.

Wonder how lovely this car would be if I got all my suspension parts replaced with brand new OEM parts....

Congrats man, those bushings were completely worn out.

As for me, I've been having mild misfires in the morning, ran it through a C4 clone and discovered that those so called star plugs I bought here in naija are completely responsible. I just proceed order Bosch resistor style plugs and a hella secondary air pump relay. This fake ones wer I dey buy every 3 weeks no be am at all. - dem just dey trigger my CEL anyhow.

I recently checked a Benz b170, naija used. While test driving it, I noticed the steering vibrates. What could be responsible, Benz gurus.

Call my engineer he is John ! He is good ! He fixed this problem for me , 0802 643 7742

AmuDimpka:


There is a bushing in steering when they loose the steering and if they don't take time they spoil it... But it is manageable

Also, have the car alignment done also


If you are in Lagos and Ikeja area, I would recommend Oga John...he is good ! He is benz personified...be it any benz

You can call him to ask him any question..he is my mechanic....dude is so good ! 0802 643 7742


Then check steering rack, you can notice it when you turn, if it makes noise

My 4matic feels like a brand new vehicle after working on the legs. I eventually got the parts at very affordable price

Lower arm 60k (1st change ever for a 15year old vehicle) for the pair as against the 120k initial quote

Stabilizer linkage, Steering knuckle and rod 18k for both sides

Labour 7k
Total 85k
The lower arm taking the largest cost.

85k on repair of a car that will still break down on your way home from the workshop. If they remove that 85k you just wasted on that European relic, how much come remain to purchase a fairly-used groundnut eye?

How do you guys negotiate such cheap labour costs? Labour for Calabar na die - even Aunty Rad.autoworks dey learn work for their pricing mechanism. They charge you for labour based on vehicle make and model and perceived market price of part to be changed.
