Eccentric screws W140 - part number?

[phoenix217]

Hello folks,

a short but tricky question.

I need to replace the eccentric bolts (all four) on my front axle lower wishbones on my W140.

There is a repair kit A1403300018. But it only contains two of the 4 screws. The problem is that the screws I can find are 15 cm long and the others are 16 cm long. Even Mercedes has capitulated in the search. They are not shown in the EPC.

Attached are two pictures. One clearly shows which set is available from Mercedes and the other includes the missing nuts and bolts.

Perhaps one of you knows more?

Thanks in advance!

EPC shows A1403300018 is correct, and should have 2 bolts (for 1 control arm). However the EPC does not state the length of the bolts.

Not sure I understand the concern, other than it appears these are in the process of going NLA and may be hard to find?

Also, why do you need to replace yours? They can be re-used if undamaged. Good used ones would be another option.

Two bolts are correct for each control arm. However, they are actually different lengths (15 cm and 16 cm). I can only get the 15 cm version. I could use the 16 cm version for all four screws, but nobody seems to know the part number. I cannot use the 15 cm bolts instead of the 16 cm bolts. They are not long enough. I also consulted SternGarage — he knew exactly what the problem was, but he couldn't find the parts either. Mine are damaged, which is why I need to replace them..

The only used ones I can find are in Russia.
