Hey all, I am replacing the rear suspension links in the wifes 86 190E 2.3 and noticed some familiar Part numbers from my doing the same to the 86 300E last year. Am I seeing things or are the links and bolt/sleeve repair kits the same part number? I also remember the Replace everything kit from Fastlane came up a few bolts/sleeves short. A discovery that came at a most inconveinent moment: Car on blocks and Out of action until more parts arrive! Anyone remember how many bolt/sleeves are needed, off the top of their head? Thanks...

Yup, same parts (also on the 210 chassis, as they are all really 210 part numbers now!).

You need one "repair kit" for each link -- four if doing the torque and thrust links only, six if also doing camber and tie rods (I think you need a new eccentric bolt for the tie rod).
