They can often be reused if you carefully cut the hardened rubber away from the coupling. If you prefer new here you go. Three are included here and that is the total used on your V6 or V8 engine up through 2006.

New left AND right side upper control arms. They will fit ALL W116 chassis from 1973 to 1980 ( except 6.9 ), and ALL W123 chassis sedans, coupes and wagons from 1977 to 1985.

Anytime you need to replace your rear shocks/struts, you must drop the rear control arm. If you are doing other rear suspension work, you may need to drop it as well. Kent came up with this tool kit when he was converting his SL500 to conventional coil-over shock absorbers.

If you are restoring one of these classics I can almost guarantee you are going to need some parts from this!

When you need the torque, this will deliver.

High quality fast break in pads with special coated anti-squeal pad bonded to the back side of the pad.  We include 4 new sensor wires and a small ceramic brake pad grease to lube the pad edges and the pins. ( no need to lube the back side).

Set of two new aluminum washers as shown. 

Kent was a little skeptical when you first used this—it sounded like it would be too good to be true. The first use was getting some rusty bolts off the Garrett T3 turbine housing ( some of you know the pain there!). Well, it worked, and it worked very well.

This OEM thermostat from another engine fits perfectly in the OM617 diesel engine. It does require a special rubber seal, which we include here.

This is what you need as the final touch to get your later 450 engine to run smoothly.  New OE Bosch cap, Bosch or Bremi rotor, and new Bremi wires. If you need spark plugs as well please order separately. See related products below

I call this the hidden and forgotten bushing. Why? Because you can not see it to inspect it, it hardly ever gets changed. When these bushings wear out you will feel "weird" movement in your rear end, especially going over rough ground.

To to prevent potential fluid weeping on the end of this pipe you might want to replace them if you end of removing the pipe in your procedure. 

Very nice set with silicone copper core wires. See detailed pictures below. Two coil leads of different lengths included. Check before ordering as this fits these models from the early 1990s with dual distributors in the front of the engine. 400E. 400SE.

Fits all V6 engines from 1998 to 2005. Kent feels these are the best. Outstanding quality.

It is really frustrating when you doing a job on your Benz and find it needs a 16mm or 18mm tool and you don't have it. Most of the older sets of wrenches and sockets did not include these two sizes. Just before and after 2000 Mercedes started using more of these size nuts and bolts.

Kent, as well as others, have seen valve cover leaks return within a few years after resealing. Some feel this may be a design flaw, but I contend the job was never done right in the first place. Let Kent explain why the leaks come back...

This unique tool is cut and welded right here in our shop to give you the box end depth you need to get the top motor mount bolt loose. A rubber handle serves as a grip, so you can use a pry bar to get extra torque on the bolt. Watch the YouTube video below for a full demonstration.

These seals getting totally neglected. I consider the bottom one the "forgotten" seal on these engines. They can be very frustrating to change out if you don't know the right sequence.

This pulley is usually replaced when you replace a worn-out and high-mileage water pump. If your pump is good and you just need to replace the pulley, you can do this very quickly by just loosening and dropping the drive belt. 

You will have to remove the drive belt to change this pulley. Once that is done replacement is easy. The free video instructions by Kent will show you how to do this as well as the proper way to remove and replace the drive serpentine belt.

 Any time you remove the W220 front door panel, you have to remove the wood trim piece. Any time you remove the wood trim, you will likely need to replace the clips if you want the wood to fit tight. The video below will show you how to remove and replace the wood and the clips.

Designed by Kent and made right here in our shop. Watch the video below for a full explanation of this tool and how it works. Kent will demonstrate how easy it is to remove and replace the front drive (serpentine) belt on most M112 and M113 engines from 1998 to 2006.

Think age here. Many of these shifters on our classic Mercedes are starting to get loose inside the shifter, and when the old bushings fail, you will get a lot of slop side to side when you shift between gears. Note: These bushings are different from the bushing that go on the shift levers.

This is the Febi Bilstein green 06161 power steering fluid for your M112 and M113 engines. You will need about 1.5 liters to do a complete flush. What about Petosin fluid, you may ask. Watch the video, and Kent explains why he uses this fluid as a direct replacement.
