Q3: What is this arm exactly? The front lower lateral control arm — Mercedes original designation Spring Link / Federlenker. Position: Front Axle, Lower. With rubber mount and front ball joint (per listings). No electrical damping — a plain mechanical suspension linkage.

Q4: Are the rubber mount and ball joint included? Yes — the arm is supplied with rubber mount and with front ball joint (per listing descriptions).

Q5: Do I need to replace both sides at the same time? Same-axle pair replacement is strongly recommended; an old arm on the other side causes uneven geometry and tire wear. Order the pair A2223304500 + A2223308501.
