Dangerous - no kidding - I'm surprised to see it so complete with so many holes.

Theres a 420SEL for sale locally with a trailing arm that looks like that. I considered picking it up and putting one of my spares in..

That's some pretty ugly sh;t. I had some bad rust in one of mine. My mechanic noticed it and replaced with a used one. Not a cheap repair.
