Como puedo conseguir los forros denailon de la barra suspension mb ml 270 cdi w163

I seem to only have creaking noises which i suspect to be suspension upon acceleration and braking. Could it be the torsion bar? Either way I'm going to replace these :P

Were you listening any noise when making turns? like a metal on metal noise ? I think you might have helped me find the origin of an anoying noise

Yes sir, 100% it's the metal on metal creaking noise that got into this job. Fairly easy job and well worth it because it makes the suspension quite again. Good luck!

I have a 2013 ml350 4matic no air ride suspension. I replaced shocks, struts, coil springs, CV axles, wheel bearing but still get a rough ride and front of car slants lower than rear. Also I sometimes hear a metal to metal noise on turns and creaking. MB nor anyone else can't determine issue. Any ideas?? I can't find any info for torsion bar part for my car.

@stephaniec2260 fairly certain that ML second generation (2007) and onwards do not have the torsion bars as they started making newer models unibody instead of body on frame like mine. Makes me wonder if your suv was ever in an accident! Or hit a crazy pothole that might have bent a control arm that is giving you all this trouble. But then again, I haven't seen it, so it's just a speculation. Suspension is a very finicky component, and minor change or alteration like that might go unnoticed, but under stress or turning, it would cause issues. Hope your issue gets sorted soon.

Would you please show exact automotive glue used? Thanks

I used a generic auto glue called GOOP. Here's the link for it www.amazon.com/Amazing-GOOP-160012-Automotive-Adhesive/dp/B000CCID28 Hope it helps. Cheers

Hi, I have a 350 w164 that has the same annoying creaking noise. But when searching for the torsion bar bushing, I can only see a listing for the earlier W163. Any ideas where I can source the bushes for my 2010 W164 I’ll be honest, I haven’t looked under the car to see if it’s even the same set up. Away with work atm.

Hi @allanbarbour2879, W163 is a body on frame and has torsion bars, I am fairly certain W164 being a unibody uses struts instead.

@@gasNgears Very much appreciated for your quick reply. I actually have a brand new assembled pair of front struts to fit as I had an advisory last MOT So hopefully that cures the creaking as it’s one of those embarrassing noises when trying to park. Thanks again

Is there a website to buy these parts?

No bud, there's only two torsion bars and they are at the front so only need two. One per side. Cheers

@mcsirias 2002 is a first-generation face-lift. That does not have rear torsion bars. It only has two torsion bushings, and they are super easy to replace. P
