Good morning and THANK YOU ! .
Peach Parts says I used the parts image once and so, unlike everyone else here, cannot post it again .

I need the vertical rod # 140 and #'s 152 & 188 as well .
I will cheerfully come get them - sadly the M-B Classic Center wasn't able to find them anywhere .
Correct, low co$t due to little usage, these, unlike the ball joint pull rods were not considered wear items .
I too am sad there are not many W123's left in junkyards but not surprised as twenty years ago there were plenty of perfectly good one, nice in fact that simply needed minor repairs, those of us who were yard hopping then were saddened by all the waste in spite of being able to score so many good parts cheaply via LKQ .
Don't assume I won't want your parts because they're worn, I'll make do as I managed to snap off my badly worn out # 140 .
