Yes, but good info though. I wish lt was a 215/220 strut. Didn't translate it but did it give a pn or source for the lower bj on the front 230 struts? That could save people a lot of time and $$$$

Yes, but there is no MB Part-Nr.
Its sold at german ebay for around 150€/piece which I personally find quite expensive.
EDIT: Here it is for US market: http://www.ebay.com/itm/mercedes-Steering-Knuckle-from-Shock-Absorber-ABC-R230-SL-front-/330950903628?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4d0e36074cI can get completely rebuild ABC AMG Strut (internal+external+top rubber mount) for 650€ from a german company specialized in ABC suspension. So 150€ for the lower balljoint only is usury.

However Dr. Hehl (owner of the page) was so smart to take all measurements of that joint. So if someone wants to, he can be a competitor and let some of those joints beeing made.

Just curious, what company in Germany can you get it from - Exclusiv Automobile or is there anyone else?

Thanks.
