Dear All,

I've stumbled upon some reasonably priced W126 aluminum trailing arms that I would like to fit to my W123 300D... I read on this forum that it is possible to fit them but:-

Has anyone here actually done the job?

Has anyone here got W126 aluminum trailing arms on their W123?

I've found this thread but it seems as though the poster was being messed about by people. The verdict is that it can't be done:-

Upgrading w123 rear trailing arms to aluminum w126 ones possible???

I'm not satisfied by this just yet (sorry!)

The seller does say that I need a different shaped anti-roll / anti-sway bar. This to my mind does indicate some different geometry if that is the case.

As usual any help will be greatly appreciated - particularly from those who have done the job.
