I have been discovering this is one of those maintenance areas that suffers from severe neglect. Failure of the rubber support or center drive shaft bearing can cause all types of improperly diagnosed vibration problems - some commonly change with vehicle speed.
New inner front wheel bearing seal. Fits right or left side. Should be replaced when repacking wheels bearings with new grease. NOTE: DOES NOT work on cars with ABS brakes.
If you own a 123 wagon or other Mercedes with self-leveling suspension, you will be faced someday with having to replace the main high-pressure hydraulic hose that goes from the engine-driven pump to a metal line fitting routed back to the rear suspension.

Dont neglect this service as many do! I recommend the hydraulic fluid and filter be changed every 30,000 miles. You would not believe how many SLS vehicles I have seen with dirty hydraulic fluid - I mean nasty! Sometimes I have even found engine oil in the system!

Sorry NO instructions available.
This is a maximum thickness rubber shim (19 mm thick) to adjust the ride height when installing new or reinstalling existing rear coil springs. Two required per car. Also fits 114, 115, 116, 123 sedans and coupes and 126 chassis cars.
This is a medium thickness rubber shim (14 mm thick) to adjust the ride height when installing new or reinstalling existing rear coil springs. Two required per car. Fits 116, 123 sedans, wagons and coupes and 126 chassis cars.
These special springs are unique to wagons only. They are designed to only support the weight of the car when it is unloaded. With age and malfunction hydraulic struts these springs can weaken and allow the rear of the vehicle to sag.
There are two gas filled accumulators of this style under the rear of the 1979 to 1991 123 300TD wagons, 201 190E 16v and 126 560SEL sedan and 560SEC coupes with self leveling rear suspension ( SLS ).
When these part wears, the control rod will move back and forwar and the joints will clunk when you go over bumps. This is becoming a very common failure part on these older 123 chassis. We provide you with replacements for BOTH sides (inner and outer as shown).
Common 123 front end wear item. Bushings attach the lower control arm to the frame. Rubber fails and front end gets loose and noisy.
Location of lower control arm bushing
Bushing kit that attaches the front suspension guide rod to the lower control arm. This is a wear point that is often neglected and if loose can cause clunking in the front end. This is a complete kit for both sides. 2 kits included.
These bushing go on either side of the upper control arm where it attaches to the stabilizer arm. These should be replaced if worn or installed new upper control arms. SOLD IN A SET OF 4 as required by car. See related products below for the upper control arms that these bushing fit into.

SLS low pressure hose from bottom of reservoir tank to the engine driven pump. Includes 1 meter of heavy duty fuel hose that holds up better to the hydraulic fuel than the old style original braided hose.
When changing your hydraulic fluid be sure to change this filter. Located under the cap on your hydraulic reservoir tank. Easy to replace. Fits all 300TD wagons from 1979 to 1985.
If you have any Mercedes model with hydraulic self leveling suspension from the early 70's up to the early 1990's this is the correct fluid to use. High quality Meyle or Febi Bilstein product. Any other type of fluid can damage the seals and score your pump.
