300d Turbo Suspension

Hi, does anybody know what is involved in replacing the rear left lower trailingarm? It rotted and the shock has come out the bottom. I would like to find a used one. The new one is $ 1000.00.

I had mine replaced by a shop with a used part that I got from Potomac German Auto somewhere in Maryland. The part was around $175 and labor was something like 2.5 hours. Honestly, I don't remember exactly what the labor time was, but it wasn't terrible. My guy works extremely quickly though, so it may take some longer. Don't bother buying a new part. Source out a good used arm, they're much cheaper.

Is it off of a W123? If it is I would try a "pull a parts" type of place.
