Track Rod Ends

I have just acquired a set of green track rod ends from a 6.9.

Will these fit ok on my 350SE?

Probably.. I bought new ones for my 6.9 from MB for about £15 each

But do all 116's utilise the same track rods?

The 6.9's track rods are different and so is the drag link. They may work though, you'd have to compare side by side.

THe 6.9 tie rods have a shorter overall length than those of the other 116 cars.  Additionally, they are of a different basic design, having a much shorter central tube.  The outboard tie rod end is the same as on other 116 cars, but the inner one has an extended shaft, and is shared with some of the 123 models.
