My w114 has the factory repair plate on it. It was there when I purchased the car so I don't know what exactly was involved with its installation, but I can tell you that it's not welded.

Sharing my method for front ball joints - w116, w123, w126

First of all, removal is done with a hammer and drift. I tried using my 20 ton press which did nothing (also it was very difficult to set up in the press for removal). Maybe a powerful air hammer...

I acquired R107 headers per what I read online. They don't give you enough room to get the M117 into the W114.

Anyone know what the weight difference is between the OM617 turbo and M110? Maybe I should try to get the front springs from a 280E.

Is the oil pan on a M110 the same between the W116 and W123?
