The W212 E Class 4Matic also uses this set up; it's the exact same as my 2011 E350 4Matic Also, Bilstein is the OEM for my car, so I used their upper control arms; they are the same rounded-off type on the ball joint end, just like the genuine mercedes (because they are the same maker). I'm not sure why Lemforder was like yours was, but I guess it isn't OEM. The Lemforder bushing is the bushing they use for the OEM/Genuine, but not the Lemforder arm/ball joint
@@bofasofa9399 it was all fairly mystifying to me why they chose to expand the control arm in that one critical dimension. I've used tons of Lemforder parts in the past, to good effect. This time however, I really wish I had chosen something else.
@@Mark_H_DIY Yeah, usually Lemforder is the OEM or at least OE, but for some reason on the upper control arms they aren't. It looks like they are the OEM for the lower control arms though which is weird. Oh well

strang I have a 2010 glk 350 I managed easily to replace upper control arms without loosening axle.
If I would have gotten a control arm that looked more like the OEM arm, I wouldn't have had to remove the axle either. Live and learn!
