Mounting, control arm Mercedes-Benz Vito W639 (2003–2014)

About this part

This is the silent block that joins the control arm to the body: a cylinder of rubber and metal that absorbs road vibration and holds the suspension geometry in place.

You hear it before you see it: a dull knock over bumps, a steering wheel that shakes under braking, a car that pulls to one side. The rubber cracks and gives way, and from then on the wheel angle is no longer the one it was designed to be. On a commercial vehicle these bushes work under load all day, and often give way before a hundred thousand kilometres.

What matters is the position on the arm — front or rear — and the diameter. After fitting it the alignment has to be checked: a new bush moves the toe-in, and without a check a new tyre is gone in a few thousand kilometres. On a car a few years old the rubber gives way through age even without mileage: it cracks standing still, and you can see it with the wheel turned.
