Front suspension lower control arm castle Nut
« on: July 03, 2019, 15:24:46 »
Hi all,

On the lower control arms there is a castle nut, can anyone recommend supplier for just this nut please?  One of mine has a damaged thread. 



Regards

I'm sure someone will have a used one. I imagine that I do. I never throw anything out - well almost anything. It has to be junk first.

That looks like the nut for the lower knuckle. If so, Mercedes is out of stock with no time line when it will return. Ask me how I know.

No bother I'll dig it up tomorrow. It won't be as shiny as the one in the picture!
