Both readily available on eBay or wherever. They are Lemfoerder ball joints and a Hengst fuel filter. About $70-80 for the ball joints and under $20 for the filter.

I have my car up on my lift right now and will be doing the fuel filter tomorrow morning. If you do the maintenance on these cars yourself they are not very much to maintain. I just pulled my throttle body today to get the map sensor out and that was a real pain. Had to customize some tools to get the inner most bolt out.

I actually got them through World Pac, however importeccatalog.com might be a good option for some people...$80 free shipping.

Hey,
I am assuming your fuel filter was restricted ? I've replace a lot of electric pumps (Not Mercedes Benz) and found when replacing a restricted filter like yours may mean the pump may go soon. I guess that didn't sound quite right, my meaning is since the filter was (?) restricted it made the pump work extra hard for that period of time. Electric pumps are sensitive IMO Maybe someone can chime in about this ? |

So far so good with my fuel pump...
I replaced two for now...the lower ball joint that connects the lower control arm to the spindle.
