Shoot, only 5 years ago all of these parts were in stock. I still have new genuine ones I bought back in 2018. Covid certainly was the excuse for manufacturers to go cheap and discontinue stuff, shame.
The condition of that car is just amazing. Mine looks like it was parked in the ocean in comparison. You might talk the owner into putting cosmoline / fluid film all over the bottom of the car and steering parts. They're only this nice once! Good call on the idler arm bushings.
I need to ask him about the underside cleaning - I saw that on some of the invoices it had from prior work. I wonder if it was dry ice cleaned it looks so spotless - or, it's simply that clean! Just not used to seeing things that spotless either.
I am sorry and maybe naïve but I thought you said 50,000 miles seems to me that I would expect better from Mercedes Is this normal wear and acceptable? Tom
We usually chat with folks over comments, as I don't have an open shop - most of what we do is mine, or family and friends. But - we do have an email at vortexgarageyt@gmail.com Thanks!

How many hours should this job take? Thanks!
I'm hoping to have similar work done on my W116 next year...kinda surprising that Lemfoerder parts were made in China 😐
