I'd like to freshen up the front end of my 83 300SD as all the boots look nasty and I have some steering slop.

1) Can someone provide me with all the necessary parts numbers to rebuild the front end?

2) What is the best bang for your buck distributor? I am wary of the super cheap Chinese manufacturers.

3) Any DIY writeups on the 300SD front end?


I already had both my sway bar ends snap and have welded on new ends with bushings.

Bang for buck manufacturer - although probably a rampant repackager => Febi

Click on buy parts above to get an idea of the prices involved.

I think whunter has made up a list of part numbers somewhere - but I can't find it now. If I come across it I'll post back here.
