I used to own 1984 300sd- 280k-- and this mechanic used to service it 25 years ago
please let me know on this thrust arm... i found a car I like... but fear buying-- due to clunk when came to near stop from front suspension... otherwise car/motor looked sound

As far as I know, EVERY suspension part that could wear out on a W126 is available, and probably from several manufacturers.

No need to worry, these cars are still repairable, and actually at less cost than many newer cars......Rich
