W123 drive shafts

[Llewelyn]

Can the rubber boots be replaced, and if so what kind of job is it?

I notice that the ones on mine look pretty old and cracked, and when jacked up at full suspension travel, a bit of oil leaked from one of the outer ones. Oil? ah well. could be right, I've not checked - I normally expect grease in driveshaft joins like that.

failing that, anyone got any decent shafts going cheap, for an '81 280CE in case it makes any difference, which I don't think it does.

Speak to Brendan (aka franey) @ Wunderpartz Ltd. He can supply you the parts you need for a very reasonable price. I just bought some from him for my w116...
