Then why do the kits not come with the outer races?

Is LM48510 the correct cone?

Or if it was overheated.

All 123 and 126 spindles are the same.
Actually W123 and W126 brake rotors and calipers are different. After about five or six months, doubt still there.

How do you know if the ball joint is good?

Already bought most of the suspension components, even got new springs and pads that were going to go on the wrecked Mercedes, everything is cleared out except the tie rods as still had their Mercedes foil stickers and feel good. Also reusing the upper control arms off the wrecked Mercedes as basically brand new. Think might do the same for the main dampers, as the money that was supposed to come didn't. Should feel absolutely amazing, though more important last longer as all is new and be a whole lot safer than what was there.
