Ball joint are used on practically every automobile and are almost like the ball and socket design of the human hip and shoulder joints. A U-joint links the steering wheel to the car's tires.

SOURCE: s420 radio code

If you call the dealer with your VIN, sometimes they will give you the code over the phone. Some others will need you to bring in the vehicle to make sure you're not dealing with a stolen radio. They sometimes pull the radio out to get the serial number off the radio and can look up the radio code in their system.

SOURCE: WHICH MERCEDES BENZ WOULD GIVE BEST SERVICE WITH mınımum repaırs

Let the head rule the heart...the S320 diesel. The engines are well built with only the exhaust feed-pipe from the exhaust manifold to the EGR valve needing to be occasionally cleaned out. The Mercedes diesels offer surprisingly good performance, longevity and excellent fuel economy. The S500 is sumptuous but at a cost; the expense is like standing under a shower tearing up bank notes.

How to replace s500 control arms How much do they cost, and it there an additional ball joint. My mechanic tacked this on. I thing the control arm and ball joing is one unit.

To replace the lower control are you need to unbolt it from the subframe, airmatic strut, sway bar link and from the lower ball joint. The lower ball joint is separate from the lower control arm. The ball joint actually gets pressed into the steering knuckle. Then the lower control arm sits on top of the ball joint and gets bolted down. The lower control arms list price are about $330 each and the ball joints are around $78 each for oem mercedes parts. The total labor for both to be replaced is somewhere between 6-8 flag hours. The thrust arms are also part of the front suspension and those arms are one piece that have a ball joint as part of the arm. The lower control arm usually doesn't need to be replaced unless its damaged since the control arm bushings are available separately and are around $73 each side for the kit.
