They aren't too bad. On an sd, the lh one is a little fun, but nothing
like replacing the sway bar bushes in an sdl...

All 3 of mine have required upper ball joints (Hammie got them

I emailed to see if I can go see it, the rust is of course the
question...

Regarding "needs
front spring" It probably means needs ball joints,
needs shocks
and maybe even needs lower control arm.... ... or
it could mean
the inspection place was attempting a ripoff. I
strongly doubt it
needs a spring.
In any case, it probably needs ball joints,
idler arm bushings, tie
rod ends and new bilsteins all around.
Almost every MB I ever bought
needed those. That turns a POS 123
into an MB

Looks like an
interesting challenge. As in "May you live in
interesting
times".
Needs front spring. Is this rotten spring mount, or is it
not
applicable to 123's?
There was an 87 124TD in Cow
Hampshire for $1250 that I lusted
after, had to settle for the
190DT for $350, plus going to fetch it.
That's another story.
Hope
springs eternal.
