Fitment on a used wishbone varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
No – the W163 (1997–2005) and W164 (2005–2011) are entirely different generations with completely different suspension geometry, so the wishbones are not interchangeable. Always quote your registration to the breaker so they can supply the correct generation part.
The W164 ran from 2005 to 2011 with a facelift in 2008, but the facelift was primarily cosmetic and the front suspension architecture remained the same generation throughout. That said, whether a specific wishbone crosses the 2008 facelift boundary without issue is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as minor running-gear revisions can occur mid-cycle.
Trim level alone does not affect wishbone fitment on the ML – Sport and AMG Line are specification packages rather than different chassis variants. Bear in mind that if the car you are buying from has different-style lower arms or bush carriers due to optional sport suspension, confirm with the breaker, as suspension tune variants can occasionally differ in hardware.
On the ML, larger and heavier engines (such as the ML 500 V8 versus the ML 280 diesel) can influence suspension component ratings, so engine size is worth checking. Give the breaker your full registration so they can verify the correct wishbone for your specific engine variant rather than assuming all W164 wishbones are identical.
Yes – wishbones are handed, so NS (nearside, passenger side) and OS (offside, driver side) are different parts and must be specified correctly when getting a quote from a breaker. If you are unsure which side needs replacing, your garage or MOT report should confirm whether it is the NS or OS that is worn.
The W166 generation ran from 2011 to 2019, so both years fall within the same generation and fitment is more likely than across a generational boundary. However, you should still confirm against your exact registration with the breaker, as running-gear revisions can occur within a long production run and engine variants may influence the specification required.
