I took my 2008 GL450 in for an alignment and mechanic said that one of the left upper control arms bushings had failed. Recommended replacing both upper control arms at a cost of $1340 including alignment. Can anyone give me the procedure for removing the upper control arm? It doesn't look hard but I can't tell if the air strut is in the way of extracting the bolts. Thanks in advance.

GL450 Upper Control arm removal
Thanks for the reply. I was hoping someone on the forum knew how to do this but I guess not. It looks like you just remove wheel, remove plastic wheel well cover, separate upper ball joint from control arm and remove two bolts attaching upper control arm. I can't tell if the bolts will clear the air strut enough to come out or not without removing the air strut. I was hoping to find out if I was missing something.
