This component replaces the original OEM part to enhance vehicle stability during cornering, reduce body roll, and improve overall handling dynamics.

Key Features

• Precision Engineering: Manufactured with advanced metallurgy to match or exceed OEM specifications.
• Durable Construction: Corrosion‑resistant alloy ensures long service life even under harsh driving conditions.
• Optimized Geometry: Designed for optimal load distribution, providing smoother steering feel and reduced tire wear.
• Easy Installation: Compatible with standard mounting points; no special tools required beyond a torque wrench.
• Improved Handling: Reduces body roll by up to 30%, delivering tighter cornering and better ride comfort.

Compatibility Matrix

The Lemförder 36716 01 is engineered for the following Mercedes-Benz models:

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Secure the vehicle on a lift or jack stands. Remove the front wheel and brake components to access the suspension.
2. Remove Old Link: Detach the existing anti‑roll bar link using a socket set. Note the orientation of pins and bolts for correct reassembly.
3. Position New Rod/Strut: Align the Lemförder 36716 01 with the mounting points on the steering knuckle and roll bar. Ensure that the pin holes match precisely.
4. Tighten Fasteners: Use a calibrated torque wrench to secure all bolts to manufacturer specifications (typically 80–100 Nm, depending on model).
5. Reassemble Wheel Assembly: Reinstall brake components and wheel. Lower the vehicle and perform a test drive.
6. Final Check: Verify torque values after the first 50 miles of driving to account for settling.

Performance Benefits

The Lemförder 36716 01 delivers measurable improvements in vehicle dynamics:

• Reduced Body Roll: Enhances stability during aggressive cornering, especially at higher speeds.
• Improved Steering Precision: Provides a more direct feel to the steering wheel, aiding driver confidence.
• Enhanced Tire Contact: Maintains optimal tire‑road contact by keeping suspension geometry within ideal limits.
• Long-Term Reliability: Constructed from high‑strength alloy that resists fatigue and corrosion over time.

Material Composition

The rod/strut is fabricated from a high‑grade steel alloy with a protective coating to prevent rust. The internal geometry incorporates a tapered pin design that reduces stress concentrations, thereby extending the component’s lifespan.

Quality Assurance

Lemförder employs rigorous testing protocols:

• Dimensional Accuracy: Each unit is measured against OEM tolerances to ensure a perfect fit.
