My 240D (w123) 1981, has two arms coming from the front axle to the lower body of the car. In there, there are two "brake support" ball joint- looking parts. don't know their real name or how to identify them. They have become noisy with a bit of a play. I will appreciate if you guys have experienced something similar and if there could be any adjustment done to those "balljoints". PLEASE HELP!!!

Those are anti-sway bar end links. They wear out. There is no "adjustment," just replace them. They are not expensive, and you will likely notice the improved handling.

I don't think so. He's talking about the front axle. My bet is guide rod mounts. If so, no adjustment.

thanks a lot mates, I appreciate your guidance.

I humbly accept the "Idiot of the Day Award." I contact my third grade teacher and schedule a remedial reading lesson. I missed the part that said "front."

Ha Ha Ha, funny, no worries mate.
thanks Mario
