eBay find: W124 Mud Flaps and misc parts

Just scored some items on eBay. Brand new OEM w124 mudflaps with mounting hardware and instructions , drag link, center driveshaft bearing, and sunroof motor (mine works fine). Last checked, the flaps went for around $100 if you can find them. Hopefully they'll look classy on my wagon.

Yeh I wasn't buying it for the Uro branded items, yet I have not heard of a Uro product failing and I personally have not had an issue with them. I believe my upper radiator hose is Uro and no problems so far. Once I read a post hating on Uro and a guy that worked for them told him they have rigorous standards and will go through the necessary steps to replace a problem product for customers.

I'll certainly post pics once installed! Maybe my brand new Lorinser bumper will be installed then too.

If you're listening, someone sold their 124 and left for me Uro brand tie rods, drag link and idler arm bushing. All failed within a year. I have a Uro brand upper radiator hose that doesn't fit. I helped a friend install a Uro brand 123 center bearing and it didn't fit properly causing vibrations. I'm sure Jeremy will share his experience with a Uro brand clutch fan. Hint, it's no longer on his car.

I don't remember the break year but MB increased the overall length and pin size in 124 drag links. Don't be surprised if a drag link for a 92 doesn't work with your 87. Just as well if it's a Uro.

Well there we go, that's good enough for me. My upper rad hose does fit a little weird, kind of like the straight hose section was a bit short so that the 90s wouldn't line up. I'm okay with never using the Uro parts. Thanks for the heads up...for the record, I have avoided them thusfar except for the radiator hose. So I reckon I basically just purchased the flaps, oh well :-)

The upper I hose I got was the same way. Maybe it's designed to work with a Uro radiator. I didn't want to risk the plastic Behr radiator neck when the engine rocks to the passenger side
