FWIW, I have taken the creak out of old W123 joints by doing just this, shooting a bunch of grease in with a needle... It only lasts a little while and then you have to do it again.
As far as suspesion work goes, the only difficult job on a W123 is the lower ball joints, they are ridiculously difficult. The rest is relatively easy, I just changed both upper control arms in about 40 minutes with a jack, a few wrenches, gear puller and a hammer. -Zach --- Zoltan Finks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yeah, that's what I thought was logical - why put a hole in a good > boot.
