Hello MB fans.
Here's something that has me scratching my head.
Does anyone know who makes the front wishbones for ESP equipped W124/R129s? MB part numbers are:
124 330 34 07 Left hand; and
124 330 35 07 Right hand.
One thing I am certain of: Mercedes do not make them - they have them made. But by whom? MB charge £326 each, so I intend to find out!
It seems that the non-ESP parts were originally manufactured by Lemforder, but I am not 100% certain about this (and not 100% interested either - they don't fit my car!).
I cannot find any suggestion that Lemforder actually make the ESP parts at all - for OE or for aftermarket.
At least one of the wishbones on my car is a TRW part. The car is over 16 years old so this may not be original. It doesn't seem 'right' that TRW were OEM to Mercedes, although they are now part of ZF (who also own Lemforder, incidentally).
The other name that keeps coming up is Febi-Bilstein, but again I am not convinced that these guys are OEM either.
Any ideas?
