I am looking for a good used OEM parts shown in the photo below for the driver's side front suspension. The black steel part next to the shock absorber and the cast aluminum part that connects the upper end of the black steel part to the body.



Sorry for the poor descriptions, I'll hunt up some diagrams to find some official descriptions.

I am in SW Ohio, zip code 45309 for shipping estimates.

thanks,

Joe

Has the sway bar broken at the upper mount ? ie: sway bar no longer attached to arm.

Nothing appears to be broken up there, the wheel was stable when I drove it onto the rollback and it steers properly, the wheel is just tipped in a bit at the top. I think that's from the bent bits shown in the photo, at least that's where I'm going to start and see where it goes from there.

I've got the parts on a 83 300d. Upper control arm and the part that connects upper and lower control arms.

The part you are pointing at and you are looking for is the upper control arm with ball joint as a complete assembly. You can buy them brand new here on this website or nearly anywhere else for about $70 to $100 for the pair left and right depending upon quality. Don't go used!!

I need to replace what I would call the ball joint at the bottom of the steering knuckle. The online FSM's call this a "supporting joint". I can't find a supporting joint in the parts listed on here, is there another name for it? thanks

Yes, I will go that direction with the UCA, thank you.

The lower ball joint is part number: 1163330927.

Lemförder brand is the best joint to get beside original Mercedes.
