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.
