Take it with a grain of salt:

I love my 93 300te 4matic. The car is simply amazing in snow.

Problem: my front axle abs rings got a bit rusty, and were no longer making effective contact with the abs sensors. This caused my 4 matic to turn on randomly, and also caused my abs to activate while braking.

No used axles exist. New aftermarket axles are $1,000 each side, genuine mb axles are $3700/ pair.

So now my 4matic is in the off position, and my abs still kicks in every time I stop, and I can't reasonably fix my car. So I'm stuck. I really like my car, and had planned to keep it for several years. Now, I'm considering selling it because I cannot economically repair it.
