W210 front left lemforder control arms going NLA
None on fc p or parts geek, also the price has jumped up to $254 on pelican parts. This has me concerned. I was planning on rebuilding my W210's suspension, hopefully I can get parts before anything else becomes NLA.
Time to buy a shop press and ball joint/bushing tools instead of nice clothes. |

In addition to a shop press, you will need various pieces of pipe , caliper pistons , old ball bearings to act as tooling. A better course of action at this point might be to have a shop press the parts out and in.

W210 parts are still likely obtainable by the dealer....but will likely cost quite a bit more

I found them on FCP Euro for $172 for front left lower control arm. I have a 99. Same suspension. The w210s you can still get plenty of stuff for, but they’re no spring chicken at 21 years old. They’re ancient cars to most people

I have found the factory control arms to be better made and rebushing them is your best choice.
Only if they are not corroded off, happens in snow states. |

There's still tons of W210's on the road....I see them regularly....now W123/w126 I almost never see.....still occasional W124's too.
