I agree with you 100% on getting old. Having viral cardiomyopathy
that put me in the hospital with congestive heart failure over Easter
isn't helping any, either!
I'm more or less back up to speed, still get dizzy from the beta
blocker, but able to walk full speed and get the lawn mowed.

I can only offer that it will be much easier to replace all the links and
bushings, but remember that final torque should be done with weight of car
resting on rear wheels.
Unknowns: condition of wheel bearings, brakes, unless you swap over the wheel
carriers.
Extra expense: new bolts and

Should work OK, just remember that the wagon and the sedans have
different rear axles, the wagon is 49 mm at the axle nut and the
sedans are 47 mm I think.
It is much easier to replace subframe mounts and do most of the work
on links outside the car. However, you must still tighten the

Speaking of SLCs, will they ever be valuable? Certainly the supply is
shrinking radically due to rust and the indifference of the buying
public. Still, the time will come when a good example of this model
will fetch a pretty penny (although perhaps not in our lifetime).

Based on number made, there is no probable value in them. They do not have the
cachet of a convertible, are more GT than babe mobile, and as you state, just

Would these be the same thing as those used in the w116? Sure look the same.
I know the 107 is a blend of 114 and 116 parts, but are the rubber bits
completely different? Bound to be the same thing, just more special part
number for when you do show car instead of road car. This matters
