I figured with a name like "1st equip Quality" they must be hiding
something!
Thanks1

They said the bushings were dry rotted so I think it wise to
replace them also. It looks like I can replace the bushings and
BJs more economically than getting a new LCA. But I've never
heard of a supplier of the Bushing Kit called "First Equipment
Quality" (they may as well named it "A1 Real Good Stuff") :-)
But for the pair I'd save $50 over the LemForder bushing kits.
Should I spring for the Lemforder or might the "First Equipment
Quality" be as good as they'd like me to think they are?
Thanks - now to price the BJs. Looks like the Lemfotder is
available for $22.36 each. Not bad!
Actually I have a couple of BJs on the shelf for my '78 240D but i
don't believe they will work in the 91 300D.
Thanks for the help -
Thanks ya'll -

Unless the bushings are bad on the lca you just want to
replace the ball joint. No need for spring compressor but
either need the proper press or the HF one with some pipe adapters

Hey Ya'll,
Just returned from the shop after being told I have
one BJ that won't pass inspection and the other close
behind. The shop wasn't clear on which was the more
economical direction to go -- R&R BJ's or R&R LCA's. I'd
like the list's comments please? Sorry if I missed this
thread before...
Also, Is this something I should attempt? I have the
tools (exc a spring compressor) and the talent but I'm not
sure I want to undertake another major job after the
Evaporator. I know that's a personal choice but I'm not
sure how big a job this is? I have air tools like impact
wrenches and others, - any specialty tools needed? i have
a spring compressor but I'm a little concerned about it
being robust enough to hold these springs. I can always
chain the springs to the suspension and lower the LCAs
until the stress is removed, right? I've done it on
other cars but not a W124 so I'm in unknown territory
here. Any suggestions are appreciated....
Now i'm off to check hurstys prices... ;-)
Thanks ya'll --
