New ball joint in place - lemforder item bought right here from this forum's shop.
Please always use either genuine MB ball joint or lemforder, the W124 and 201 are not the best design, there is a constant pull on the joint and it can be lethal if it separates. So please do not compromise - btw the Lemforder joint is very low cost in the first place and comes with a zinc plated bolt for corrossion protection.
Im thinking of spraying some body cavity wax on the pinch bolt slit to seal it up and prevent and water entrapment.
