CE 300 24V 1990 Sportline 5SPD Manual Sport Gearbox
Exclamation Difference lower control arms of CE300 24V Sportline and CE320

Hello all MBWorld members,

My name is Michael from the Netherlands and I would like to know if someone knows if there is a difference between front lower control arms of CE300 24V Sportline 1990 and CE320 1992-> ?

I'm looking like a mad man online for new lower control arms but all are for vehicles without Sport Chassis. Well as you can guess I have a CE300 24V with a Sport Chassis. The lower control arms I have on my vehicle are the ones with none replaceable ball joints but also the ones with the harder rubber bearings. Bought some new ones at EBAY, seller told me that they would fit. Got them, worked a half a day to get them on the vehicle and guess what, the end where the ball joints are, pushed the heat shield on the brake disks and this is grinded very much. I need some help here to get the proper LCA's. MB numbers: 1243303407 for left and 1243303507 for the right

Can someone help me get the proper LCA's? Maybe a link or brand name?

Cars with larger brakes (4 piston calipers) use control arms with non serviceable ball joints for clearance.
