Well my 78' 300D needs a left lower control arm and ball joints to pass inspection. The ball joints are cheap, but the left lower control arm is madd expensive!!! I was thinking of going to the junk yard and go get one, but my step-dad wanted to kill me if I was gona get that part over at the junk yard. He said that both Lower control arms must be change, you can't just have one side done, but the he said IDK afterwards, just don't get it from the junk yard. Does anyone have any source of web site for a lower control arm for a w123? I would appreciate it! Thanks! | ||

Unless that LCA was cracked or bent I can't see a reason to replace it. | ||
