Thats strange, i called the mercedes dealer here in seattle and they said they have the balljoints for 37 dollars each.. numerous aftermarkets list this application also(autozone, etc) . i told them they were for a 94 e320> looks like i might be buying a set of lower control arms.. is there anything else that might cause the car to wander or is it probably the balljoints> thanks for the quick reply> benjay
