Ass end VERY low

My 76 450 SEL with 180,000 miles is not doing well. I have some idle issues, some strating issues and now as if all of a sudden the ass end is dragging somewhat.

A mercedes mechanic had a quick look under neath and said the coil springs are compressend and that the "arms" are shot. He suggested I sell the car Said I would get $2500-3000 CDN as is. And buy a different one. That someone with more money than me would buy it and fix. Motor and tranny are awesome. Interior is in good cond. for year. All chrome, 5 rims etc... So do these arms wear out and need replacing? He said they are like $2000 CDN new and maybe 600 used.

I don't know what I will do...

Any help?


Are these "arms" difficult to install? Any on
