After reading several of these threads and recognizing some "bouncing" from the rear I decided to look at mine. At 325k the rear is showing far more thread that it should.

My question is... I found this part #W0133-1618698 on several sites for nearly the same price unless I put in a different year car. Then it is cheaper for the same part number. ?? It is my 85 300d with the bad disk and that model year disk is around ~50-60 bucks give or take. However I found the same part for a 79 240d was only ~35-40 bucks. Are these the same part?? Can I get the W0133-1618698 when I found it under the 79 listing or do I have to get the one specifically for the 85?

Needless to say I am now driving my leaky '83 for a few days until I get this fixed.
