Front Right Rearward Control Arm with Ball Joint for Mercedes

In this review of the Front Right Rearward Control Arm with Ball Joint, the reviewer finds it a practical OE replacement for owners of specific Mercedes-Benz C and E models who need a direct-fit suspension arm without fuss. The bottom line: this control arm is aimed at DIY mechanics and independent shops that want an affordable, vehicle-specific, aluminum control arm and ball joint assembly that matches original fit and simplifies installation while retaining OE reference compatibility.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed to fit the listed 2012-2018 Mercedes C and E model years so installation avoids modification and reduces shop time.
• OE Replacement Assembly: Supplied as a control arm with integrated ball joint to replace the factory lower rearward arm and restore steering geometry.
• Aluminum Construction: The aluminum control arm material reduces weight compared with steel while maintaining structural support for the suspension.
• Bushings Included: Comes with bushings installed so the part arrives ready for installation and reduces the need to source extra components.
• Vehicle-Specific Fitment: The listing includes fitment checks and OE reference numbers to help confirm compatibility with your C300, C350, E350, or E400 model.

Who It's For

This control arm is best for Mercedes-Benz owners of 2012-2014 C300, 2012-2015 C350 4Matic, 2013-2014 E350, and 2015-2018 E400 4Matic models who need a like-for-like OE replacement and prefer a part that matches original geometry. It suits experienced DIYers and independent shops that can verify fitment with the OE reference numbers before ordering.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of other model years or non-compatible variants and buyers who require a fully adjustable performance arm or a greaseable ball joint, since this unit is not adjustable and the ball joint is not greaseable.
