I need to look at the suspension bits and the relevant manual sections, and order the parts I guess. I did the 123 front suspension, it was pretty straightforward, though I did take the ball joints to a mech to have them removed and pressed in with the MB tool.

Tie rods are the same, drag link and bushings are the same, but ball joints are MUCH more work and you have to deal with the possbility of worn out thrust links on the W126 rather than a simple control arm bushing replacement (or control arm replacement, since it's cheap).

How long did it take? I think I need to do mama's 126 ASAP as it is feeling a bit wobbly. Anybody have any details on that job?
