First things first; Lower ball joint

Hello
I've just bought my first 190 and I love it! After ready all the stuff on here about lower ball joints I've decide I'm going to replace both of tham before I start using the car. Even though it's only done 83k there's a good chance they've been in there for 20 years!
Anyway, I want to buy the best quality ones available and was thinking about ordering them from here -

Has anybody ordered from here before or can anybody recommend another place, or should I just order direct from mercedes?

Cheers

Good idea.

The main cost is in the fitting not the parts.

cost u roughly 15 squids inc vat for a proper MB part so not really worth buying anything else cheaper.
Fitting is the major cost mate, just find a good mechanic who uses a press.

while ur at it look at ur ANti roll rubbers and track rods
