Having just done 2 front end rebuilds, are the knuckles different in 1980 and older form 1981 and newer? The reason I ask, is that I rebuilt a spare set of knuckles (new ball joints installed), and LCA's (new bushings installed) from a 1985, and installed them on a 1980. I then took the parts from the 1980, rebuilt them with new parts (BJ's & LCA bush'gs), and put them in my 1982 240D. I have the spares from the '82 that I will rebuild and use them in the next front end job. The '80 seemed to align just fine, and drives like a new car (suspension wise). I still have to get the '82 aligned after I replace the 2 tie rods tomorrow (after the parts arrive from Pelican Parts). Is there a problem with mixing up the parts like that? I assumed all the 123 chassis parts were the same......Rich
