A W126 owner doesn't have to worry about brake induced pull because the suspension has zero offset. That's because the spindle centerline and tire contact center meet on the road surface. Viola, no torque is produced.

Check the small rubber boots for breaks. (no pun intended).

When was the last time these were changed, or are the original?

Be careful when installing the new ones. The old ones are most likely rusted and there will be a lot of rusty stuff on the housing walls. I think my problem is caused by incorrectly installing them. When the weather warms up, I'll take the old one out and install the new one using slip joint pliars to fit it in the hold. I used a shop press and probably stretched it out of shape.
