Jack up the wheel, lock the brakes, and apply significant force on the lug bolts with a wrench. Any movement in the bushings other that plain rotation will indicate wear. This works well for the rear links too, by the way.
Crack in the rubber bushings or obvious dislocation from center or wobbly steering not due to ball joints or tie rod ends (or drag link bushings) are also an indication they are bad. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
