220d front end sagging

[IVIuzzy]

i had my 73 220d sitting in the driveway, noticed that the left front seemed low. i put it on the jack then it was level, it needed about a 1 inch lift to make it level. before i buy parts, this is proabaly the spring, and not the absorber.... right?

and on a side note, i also need a tie rod, i dont know the difference between inner and outer, this is the one off the steering nuckle on the weel assembly, to the box. is this the outer tie rod?

thanks!

Double check the lower control arm bushings. The 220D's tend to eat the left side due to power steering fluid and diesel fuel leaks.
