I need to change all four drive shaft boots on the 450 SEL due to the rubber being badly perished.
I have enquired at MB and they have quoted me about £200 for all four inc. VAT. They come as a complete kit i.e. with the joints as well.
However, I have seen boot kits for sale on ebay.de and RockAuto in the states which only come as a rubber boot kit. I don't actually need the joints as mine are fine.
I'm toying with the idea of using a universal split boot to avoid having to remove the driveshafts completely as I understand its quite a major job.
Has anyone replaced theirs and if so what kit did you use and where did you get them from?
I think the W126 and W140 use the same boots
Thanks in advance,
Leigh
