Front LCA out of spec - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

The thinner part is on top when the arm is installed.

I put a caliper on it and it has a 48mm diameter all around on both sides, therefore not out of round/elongated. On its thinnest edge it has a 4mm thickness.

I'm using the w123 bushings. I've been following the FSM which did have a note about the orientation. I just recently picked up a paper copy

So I'm gathering the consensus is since the hole is not out of round the control arm is likely in spec and can be put back on?

Using it has my vote.
