you are correct - super simple - whether in a MB or a MGB - the king pins in
my MGB were trouble free for 350k miles.- but I got that car when it was
less than 3 years old and had been pampered -
the W108s I had were all at least 10 years old when I bought them - but
still the king pin suspension was easy to maintain -
Rust was the big enemy -

I have had a few 108's 109's but they have been parts cars. I would
love to have one that is decent but the only thing about them that
scares me is the king pin suspension.
I think as long as you grease them regularly they can be fairly
trouble-free ( I say this having never owned one ).
