Re: [MBZ] Subject: Re !123 Rear Semi-Trailing arm
I did it the hard way on my old 123.190; I pulled off the entire rear axle / differential / suspension subframe, and then replaced ALL the bushings. Two hard days of brutal work, but a brand-new suspension when I was done. I had access to a nice lift on base for that job. - Max Charleston SC ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

I got the used arm from Atlanta Stuttgart - which will give a clue as to how long ago it was. I don't have any notes - but my memory is it wasn't difficult. Possibly easier than replacing a rear wheel bearing. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

My 1983 240D had the rear passenger side Biltstein shock broke through the trailing arm where it rusted/broke out. The spring is still intact in the arm . it caused the arm to bump into the outside axle rubber boot & spring a grease leak . I put in new axles 2-3 years ago . I have another rubber boot but i know you need that tool. I have to put it on the lift to see the boot tear yet . How hard is this to put a used trailing arm in anybody done it ..Appreciate your answers on this .
