so I'm wondering, do the 126 trailing arms have more camber
angle than the 123's <115 p/n>? or less? |
From what I remember the later W123 chassis used the same 126xxx part number rear trailing arm as the 1st gen W126 chassis. At some point in time (79???) there was a change in rear toe spec for the W123. The early W123 chassis also used the 115xxx part. So, I assume only the toe spec was changed. I doubt it will offer any more negative camber. I guess one could make encentric bolts/washers for the bushing holes.
A working SLS is hard to beat. I've driven RichC's wagon with his modified rear suspension and although it sits level and drives very nice I still believe the SLS handles better. However, Rich had no option due to the missing SLS pump equipped head on its replacement engine.
