Careful, guys on this one, my experience last year was the exception that dented the rule, in terms of w126 knuckles... or at least knuckles from ABS-equipped cars.

I am going to pull the '85 SD knuckles that I swapped onto my '85 w123 off next summer... car could not be properly aligned with them installed.

We discussed the issues I had, on the forum, but we never really figured it out beyond "the part number interchanges, but apparently some individual castings don't...."

OK thanks. Was there ever a Bendix caliper in the W126? I like the Bendix design on the w123 better than the ATE.

I would say this is good advice for everyone with cars of these age, doing brake jobs or not...

This was my 82 with only 162k miles!

If you mean to say the 15mm sway bar is looking for a new home, Please consider me (a long but quiet member) and my '85 federal 300d to be worthy recipients. I never quibble about price, life is too short.
