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.

Suddenly my imagination conjured up pictures of a surgeon checking out Fergie only to go "Hey! I just did this one last month! Why is she back alread....oh."

The mb is a press out, however it takes a special tool from mercedes to do it properly as the there is no way to get a press in on the top side, they have a fork style dealio that goes over the flange and so on and so forth, it's a nightmare. i have a balljoint press, but it dont work on MB |
