febi 179409 Control Arm suitable for Mercedes-Benz. Fitting Position: rear axle right, upper, front. Rubber-to-metal parts are used as elastic joints between chassis and body, especially in multi-link axle designs. They absorb the vibrations generated by the road surface and drive units while the vehicle is in motion and thus makes a significant contribution to increasing driving comfort and noise insulation. In addition, they ensure driving safety by improving steering behaviour and driving stability on uneven road surfaces as well as braking and avoidance manoeuvers. Control arms are the link between the suspension strut and the bodywork. They hold the strut in position and absorb forces in the longitudinal and transverse directions when accelerating and decelerating as well as when cornering. Due to the suspension, they must be mounted so that they can move up and down. Control arms from febi are precisely manufactured and have high-quality supporting ball joints and bearings with the ideal rubber hardness and elasticity.
