2000 to 2006 ABC Rear Control Arm Outer Bushing Replacement Kit

SL500, S500 and CL500. Kent refers to this as the hidden AND forgotten bushing. A MUST to replace these when the control arm has been dropped for rear shock replacement.

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.
