Mercedes-Benz · Suspension & Steering

Trailing and lateral arms

The rear suspension arms that control fore-and-aft and side-to-side location of the rear wheels.

Also called rear arms, toe arm, camber arm.

How you know it is this

  • Rear tyres wearing on one edge
  • The back of the car feeling loose or steering slightly of its own accord
  • A clonk from the rear over bumps

Worth knowing before you buy

  • Rear geometry on a multi-link Mercedes is adjustable through these arms, so alignment afterwards is not optional.
  • The toe arm is the usual culprit for rear tyre wear and is often the only one that needs doing.

What we need to quote it. Which arm, if known, and left or right. The chassis number settles the generation, the body and usually the engine in seventeen characters — it is on your mulkiya. A photograph of the old part helps where there is more than one version.

Arms, joints and bushes — schematic, to show where the part sits. Arrangement is right; it is a diagram and not a fitment reference.
