[W126 Coupe] rear wheel shackle

[Dick Spellman]

Ronny,

Are you referring to the sway bar that attaches at two points to the 
rear chassis and then to the plastic links at each rear wheel?

If this has a broken chassis clip, it can be easily repaired.

Or are you referring to the big knuckle at  the front of the rear wheel 
(semi-trailing arm)?

The only failure I've seen on these is the shock blowing through the arm 
itself.  There is no repair, only replacement with used parts.  I did 
both at the same time where it's a complete removal of the rear end.  
It's a full day of work and other components should be replaced at the 
same time and maintenance on numerous pieces completed as well.

If it's just the sway bar, it's not a big job and easy to repair.

Regards,
Dick
