Hmmm I thought I'd find more information on this. It seems to be common knowledge that the steel trailing arms are interchangeable... but I can't find much information about the aluminum versions.

I've read through chapter 35 in the W126 FSM and I can't make out for sure if the trailing arms with the anti-squat geometry were aluminum or not - I guess so...

It looks like I'll have to see these parts in the flesh.

To be continued...
