W116 Rear Trailing Arms Interchangeable?
Mine is a 1979 300SD. The hub that the rear drivers side wheel bearing fits into is damaged and is spinning somewhat. I need to replace the entire lower arm. Here in AZ, I have found 2 donors, 1 is a 73 450SE, the other is a 76 450SE. Are there any differences in the rear ends of these cars? And no, neither is the 6.9L engine with the possible pnuematic suspension.
Thanks in advance, Bert Also - anything I should watch out for?
