Blew a rear axle on a W115 300D, and no suppliers have them available. 240D axles are all over the place, but the general consensus seems to be that they're not compatible. I have found rebuild kits, but don't know if that'll work for me. The car still moves under its own power; it just makes terrible noises during turns. Any thoughts, based on these photos, if the "rebuild kit" will suffice, or is this axle toasted? I haven't pulled it yet to see if the splines are shredded.
