It went pretty well, the guy who i bought it from gave me all the parts to redo it. Stupid me i had the car aligned before doing the tie-rods. I matched them up and the alignment seems close but the steering wheel is no longer centered so I gotta take it back in for alignment and make them center the steering wheel.



Anyhow, one thing you never want to do on a w123 is a lower ball joint, this is a nightmare, not fun at all, everything else went great steering is nice and tight now.

The lower joint on the MB couldn't be as bad as the four on the s-series blazers, which were riveted in place.

S10 too. I haven't replaced mine yet but I've got some really heavy duty ones from power performance.

The only way you can make that happen if you knock her up...

actually you can, it's called vaginal reconstruction surgery, a lot of the old rich chicas get it.
