FWIW ;

I've had to do two front end rebuilds, when I do the job I do it all ~ trailing arm bushings and sway bar bushings etc., etc...

This car, my 1982 240D wore out the upper ball joints to the point they began to rattle .

I *thought* both upper control arms were replaced when the left upper ball joint began banging away some years ago .

This new Chinese part came with the sway bar end bushings .

I have a box full of N.O.S. German, original Mercedes lower ball joints I bought some years ago, as soon as I figure out where I stored it I'll get started .

I should sell off the extra lower ball joints .

As always, I greatly appreciate the help and ideas given .
