There is this weird ball joint/radius arm end joint type thing, I don't even know what to call it, on the C126 front suspension. Its used to adjust caster.
You can see it on this screenshot attached, marked as 48. They just call it a 'support joint', which is not much help.
Does anybody know what it's common name is? Or how I can go about finding its part number? Trying to tell a parts stockist that I need a 'support joint' is too generic, and when I try to describe what it is, they keep trying to sell me steering joints, so that's no good either. They need a OEM part number.
I know Mercedes themselves would probably sell me one, but of course they will just sell me it, not tell me the part number so I can shop around. Mercedes usually take their time, whereas a lot of auto parts stockists are much quicker (and often cheaper too).
So, does anybody know what this mystery object is called and what it's MB number is?
