Can anyone on this list clarify the evolution of the rear axle assemblies for the W123 chassis cars? I am restoring a 1982 240D with 361,000 miles on it. Rear axles work ok, no clunking, but the boots are rotted. The car has the bolted type inner section. I have ordered and received replacement axles; I received the crimped can type. Looking around the web, it looks like the bolted type is the older style and the crimped can type is the newer style, both equally usable. But it also looks like the newer can type might require different seals where the inner spline connects to the differential, and different wheel hub bolts where the outer section connects to the wheel hub. I could use some help understanding what I need to do.
Thanks,
Marvin Kraft
