On my spare the adjustment range is a minimum
of 3" to a max of 4" with about 5mm in the
bore. I don't see any numbers on the parts
themselves but there is a small stamp in each
R or L respectively. The one you want with
the right hand thread is 123 328 00 63. The
threads are the size that use a nut with the
10mm wrench size.

Great idea, Mannfred! The only concern would be if it’s at or near the correct
length. The part on this car is a fixed length, there’s no adjustment. I
realize the W123 part would be adjustable, but if it’s too long or short it
wouldn’t of much use.
If I knew which one was right hand thread I would just buy two of them and get
some threaded rod to make one the right length.
Thanks!

OK found the pack sooner then I thought. there are two ends one aright hand
thread and one a left. you will need one of each for each of the connector bars.
the numbers are 123 328 00 63 and 123 328 01 63 my cost $7.24 each. From
those numbers the parts guy should be able to get the number of the whole
assembly with bar and lock nuts. It is on a 83 300TD but should be the same for
any year with the active suspension.

This car has xenon headlights. A part of this system is two level sensors, one
at the front and one at the rear. The sensor is bolted to the vehicle frame and
a lever on the sensor, using much like a sway bar link, is connected to the
lower control arm at that location.
I found the rear sensor disconnected at the right rear sway bar, the clip that
held it in place missing. Easy enough to resolve.
While working under the car last night, I found the front sensor on the right
front suspension with a broken bracket where it attaches to the lower control
arm. I removed the connecting link and discovered that the ball joint on the
bottom end was completely frozen in place. I soaked it with some Kroil and
found when it came loose that the socket was completely destroyed by corrosion
and the only thing holding the ball in place was the remains of the rubber boot.
The connecting link is about 4”-5” long, with a ball joint at each end with a
threaded stud that’s maybe an M6 or M8 thread on it. The part from MB
is....wait for it...$235.00!!!!
Yeah, I don’t think so.
So I’m wondering if anyone might know a source for something like this?
