OK well w115 75 300d
Thought my shock gave out. Nope. It tore through stupid rusty control arm.

will 123 chassis also work? (I don't have any, just wondering if they will cross mount) ive swapped axles and diffs, and the damn things do look identical, but im not sure. Might expand your search possibilities if a 123 chassis would also get the job done. Maybe the EPC could say definitively
that sucks however! do you have pics of the damage?

Phone won't let me upload :-(
Just in quick reading there may be some interchangeability.
W115, w123, w126 (steel not aluminum) control arms
I can get one on eBay just wanna check you guys first.
RE: wtb stupid control arms - swampmonkey - 01-31-2014
the w115 and w123 at the rear fits between, and i think the w126 gen1 does to.
be shure that something you get from the junkyard acctually is healthy thou
RE: wtb stupid control arms - lgreeley83 - 01-31-2014
Springs should fit too than? My rear is a bit tired and saggy.

too bad you don't need w124 control arms, I have a set of lowers in my shop I'm no longer using.
RE: wtb stupid control arms - swampmonkey - 02-05-2014

I'll sell you my whole car in a little while when I move up there. I'm driving in to stay 2/10/14.
But I guess you'd need a place to store a whole parts car. It's really good as far as structure and no rust too.

I got the hook up on some California kleeeeenn! Arms coming from deliveryvalve.
Thanks swampmonkey. for the heads up. JB3 I was told you may have some spring info.
Lars my wife swears if I get a third Mercedes before we get a house she is going to kill me :-) Where you going to be living? We'll have to start an awkward bromance and hang out all the time. I got a local buddy with a wagon and we do some car stuff together. There is a local car show we crash when it gets warm out.
Our bromance doesn't have to be awkward if you don't want it to.

I think aiming for right in CHI. Myb logan sqr. Job is in the loop. So, really anywhere that public transit touches will be fine. Sadly I think I'm pretty well giving up cars in total for now. They can be quite the expense.
