Front Suspension Valve Parts

[Styria]

Hi all,

Does anyone have part numbers and a source for the bushing (red arrow) and boot (yellow arrow) for the front suspension valuve:



They don't appear to be on Autohaus.

I was going for a drive this morning, and the car became very bouncy. The bushing had disintegrated allowing the arm to become detached, meaning that the front of the car was raised up (gangster style).

Yes Lukas, now we do, thanks to PvD. I also know that he procured the appropriate rod with the flexible links from the States. I don't have of those as far as paert numbers and price are concerned, but he may be able to supply us with further information in due course. Regards Styria

I purchased the link (2 ball joints and connecting threaded rod with nuts) from Mercedes-Benz Classic Centre USA. The part number was123-320-14-89, the description was ROD, The price was US$37.82 plus shipping & handling came to US$69.83 the AU$77.76, not cheap but correct part. Hope this helps

Pleased to hear about the rubber boots being replaceable as I have two perfectly serviceable valves with rotten rubber boots.

My front valve is weeping so I need to fix it soon.
