Hi, I'm posting here because the diesel guys seem to be able to keep their cars going economically. ( kind of like the Porsche 914 guys )

97 SL 320 R129 ( W 124 based ) with the regular steering box / linkage and not rack / pinion. I need tie rod end and center link boots. Mercedes used to sell these but they are out of the system.

Tie rod boot 129-330-00-85
Center link ( drag link ) 129-330-01-85

There are universal American umbrella type boots to be had but these are more for joints that have grease fittings. I'll work up some dimensions as there has to be some other car that uses the same boot size.

As a side note, to make your boots last longer, put some silicone grease between the shaft / boot and on top of the boot. This will reduce friction and allow the shaft to smoothly rotate rather than bind.

Thanks
