OE 2053510200 — Control Arm Bushing for Mercedes-Benz

Four variables explain most of the spread: material grade, whether the goods are new production or clearance stock, packing format, and whether the quote is ex-works or landed. Ask for the material certificate alongside the price — that is what makes a comparison like-for-like.

Report it with the order number and packing-list line plus photographs. Because every carton is photographed before loading, we can trace the batch immediately and settle the claim against the inspection record instead of arguing from memory.

Build-year coverage is listed row by row in the Applications table above. Where several generations share one number, the newer rows usually carry a revised suffix — compare the last four characters before buying, since a suffix change often means a different connector or bracket.

Three checks: the code printed on your old part must read 2053510200; the number must fall inside the build-year range in the Applications table; and the connector, thread or bolt pattern must match the reference photo. Codes cast into the housing are the most reliable source.

Stock references leave Guangzhou within 7 working days. If 2053510200 needs a production run, allow 25-35 days depending on quantity and surface treatment. The schedule is confirmed in writing when the order is placed.

For a short distance at reduced load, usually yes — but the risk compounds. A degraded control arm bushing transfers stress to neighbouring components, so a small repair can grow into a full suspension, steering & brake rebuild. Book the replacement once the symptom is repeatable.
