Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Chelseafan1: 6:28am On Sep 14, 2019 |
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.... CC Radautoworks, Eddee, Nwanneni 3 Likes

Chelseafan1: 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. 1 Like

I recently checked a Benz b170, naija used. While test driving it, I noticed the steering vibrates. What could be responsible, Benz gurus. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Eddee(m): 9:22am On Sep 14, 2019 |
akinwalehabib: So many things could cause a steering wheel to vibrate. How fast were you moving before you noticed the vibration, and how bad was it? You may have to take it in for proper diagnosis by a qualified mecho 1 Like |

akinwalehabib: 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 |

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Eddee(m): 11:57am On Sep 14, 2019 |
AmuDimpka: Cc: akinwalehabib Most times all you have to do is tighten the bolts on the car's axle beam, believe me you, your car will groan at every turn no matter how slight the change in steering direction and every bump or pothole you encounter will give you cause for concern. Now follow this cost effective method before proceeding to throw any parts at that car. Take it to a pit, have the mechanic tighten every bolt on all the suspension parts, tighten the axle beam, pull out your tyres - check for worn threads, and also inspect your alloy wheels for dents. While you're at it, check the lower arm camber bushings and every joint with a ball attached. Finally you can then proceed to the steering rack (especially if it's leaking). If all these are in good condition, then my brother na drive shaft be your problem las las The steering bushings don't get bad easily. I'm guessing you're talking about this 1 Like

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. 1 Like

15years old C320 4matic Lower arm changed for the 1st time no thanks to Lagos roads. Only the balljoint was bad all bushing were intact. But the down side of a 4matic the balljoint is not detachable from the lower control arm so the entire unit has to be replaced. I still chose the 4matic though. 2 Likes

Buynowautos: 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? ![]() 1 Like 1 Share |
