These are the 4 long bolts that need to be removed when changing your W126 brake rod control joint on your front suspension. There are two on each side. They do not come in the repair kit so if you bolts are very rusty you might want to have these new bolts on hand before you start your repair. See related products below to purchase the kits. IMPORTANT NOTE: Cutting the old bolt and drilling the hole larger is the big washer is required in order to use these new bolts. Watch the video for instructions below:
Product Details
This is what the original bolt looks like. The washer is usually "stuck" on the bolt. I recommend you use a dremel tool with a small bit to enlarge the hole in the washer so you can remove the bolt. You will need to reuse this large washer.

PLEASE READ THE ALERT BELOW BEFORE ORDERING. If your 126 sedan or SEC coupe is making front end clunking noises when you brake or go over bumps at slow speed you most likely need to replace the bushings where the lower front suspension guide rod attaches to a body subframe casting.
