Front Steering & Suspension 8-Piece Kit for 2012-15 Mercedes E/CLS

Our review of this 8-piece steering and suspension kit finds it best suited for owners of 2012-2015 Mercedes-Benz E-Class and 2012-2013 CLS550 models who need a complete front-end OE replacement. The kit is a direct-fit, vehicle-specific assembly that replaces worn control arms, tie rods and sway bar links in one service, which is the single biggest reason to buy: it consolidates multiple front suspension wear items into a matched set that installs like original equipment. For a DIY mechanic or an independent shop handling a 4Matic front-end, this kit simplifies parts sourcing and reduces fitment guesswork.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed to match OE geometry so components install without modification and maintain factory alignment when installed correctly.
• OE Replacement Kit: Includes control arms with ball joints, outer tie rods and sway bar links so the entire front steering assembly is refreshed at once.
• Vehicle Specific: Fitment information is provided for 2012-2015 E350/E300/E250, 2012-2014 E550 and 2012-2013 CLS550 4Matic front applications to avoid ordering errors.
• Complete Set: Eight pieces in one package reduce time spent sourcing individual parts and ensure matched wear characteristics across the front axle.
• Reference Numbers: Supplied OE and aftermarket reference numbers make it easier to cross-check compatibility with existing parts.

Who It's For

This kit is for Mercedes-Benz owners and independent technicians who prefer replacing worn front suspension items as a matched set rather than piecemeal. It is especially useful for vehicles with worn ball joints, torn control arm boots, or broken sway bar links where multiple components need attention at once.

It is not the best choice for drivers who only need a single part replaced and want to minimize initial cost, or for owners of models outside the listed fitment who should verify fitment before ordering.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Comprehensive kit replaces all major front steering and suspension wear items in one service, saving time on parts sourcing.
• Direct-fit, OE-style parts provide straightforward installation and help maintain original steering geometry.
• Good value for money compared with buying individual components separately, according to customer feedback.

Cons

• Some users report durability concerns with ball joint boots and sway bar links under heavy use, so longevity may vary by driving conditions.
