Re: [MBZ] 240D linkage parts
There are at least three versions of the linkage on the 240D, and some of it is NLA. My 80 has the version with a level on the valve cover that has an integrated piece of rubber (which was later moved to the firewall). That piece is NLA, and mine is starting to tear. Might have to enlist the 3D printer in a repair. On Tue, Jan 26, 2021 at 12:34 PM OK Don via Mercedes wrote: > Doesn't the W123 repair manual call out the adjustment procedure?

Doesn't the W123 repair manual call out the adjustment procedure? RTFM (read the factory manual).

Give me your VIN and I’ll look up the numbers. The ball sockets are still available fro the dealer, I believe.
