Re: [MBZ] W126 Tie rod assembly part numbers
Kaleb, Thanks! I will call Rusty today and get new parts. There is nothing more frustrating than to tear a car down only to find out you have the wrong parts. On the good side it looks like I need to order lower control arms too. Trampas -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kaleb C.

I was wondering if the W126 tie rod assembly were the same as the W107? While your observation are consistent with the 107 and 126 tie rod being the same - it's not safe to assume that! There are 124 parts that begin with 201 but are not appropriate for a 201 and vice versa. To be sure you must check the 107 and 126 part numbers and see if they are the same.

Re: [MBZ] W126 Tie rod assembly part numbers
I ordered tie rod assemblies from Rusty awhile back and was getting ready to put them on my 91 560SEL and noticed that the part numbers start with 107 and they are labeled for a 560SL. I was wondering if the W126 tie rod assembly were the same as the W107? I can't speak for this particular case, but often this is true. A part originally deployed for a particular model is later used on others. I think many 114/115 suspension parts are used in 123's. The manual transmission in my 201 is a 124, etc. -- Jim
