Greetings fellow Benz enthusiasts, How does one remove the alternator Does it come out with its "suround" ?And what is the purpose of the large round steel bar that spans the width of the car from under the battery to the fuse box?



Thanks is advance! Rob

That's the stabilizer bar a/k/a sway bar. Its ends are attached to each front wheel so that as a wheel's spring compresses in a turn the bar lifts the opposite side's wheel to reduce the body's height and so its lean.
