WANTED OEM late LCAs

[744Brillantsilber]

Looking for a set of new late style lower control arms, original MB.
Interested in both normal and Sportline.

Please let me know if you have them, mine are shot and I would like to avoid aftermarket.

Do your old LCA's have excessive wear at the ball joints?

Another option is to locate used ones with good ball joints, and refurbish them with new bushings & dust boot.

Yes, saddly the play at the ball joint is more than on a good used one

Merlin, are you sure the sportline LCAs 124-330-36-07 and -37-07 aren’t available at MB anymore? In March 2021 there were 60 units left. Hopefully there are still some left so you can get a set!

Thank you very much Tim,
the 124 330 37 07 is nla according to MB Germany.
It seems to be still in stock according to mboemparts.
I sent MB Classic USA an email and ask if it is truly still available.
Thanks a lot for your tip!

Hmmmm, 26% off, I wonder if they are trying to get rid of stock ?
Soon to be NLA …

26% off list is Naperville's standard discount.

Other sites sell using a different matrix and some parts can be 30-40% off list. Pricing has remained essentially the same on all the late LCA's for quite a few years now, there was no fire-sale price drop to dump inventory which has happened in rare cases in the past (for example, the last few flip-top armrests many years ago).

@744Brillantsilber Not what you're looking for but I have a set of these (late model LCAs) with ball joints still tight. They were replaced due to the bushings deteriorating (power steering output shaft leak dripping onto the LCA) and not because of the ball joints. The bushings were removed and the ball joint boot which was still intact was replaced and packed with Red Line CV-2. You'll need to press in new bushings which I believe are still around $80 for an OE set from Naperville.

LMK if interested.
