I now see that. Rock Auto has them cheap enough. Cardone 609022. Less the $60. Shipping Fed-Ex is cheap enough. O'Reilly does not show them at all, so chances are the big auto parts places will look at you like you have two heads.

I was wondering whether anyone would catch that.  I recently introduced Son to Arlo Guthrie, and I was reminded just what a great storyteller he is/was.

...I do think it was more comfortable driving along in Tubby the tired 300SD than a red VW Microbus. :-)

Having a lot of experience with CV joints, but not those on these
Mercedes, do these joints go bad from wear or is it that they die as
most of them do from neglecting to keep good boots? And, are they so
difficult to work on that even if the joints are good, it would be more
economical to just get rebuilts?

Ask Cardone they are usually all over the internet.  Usually with a listing of their newest products.  While those particular axles aren't at the top of their demand list, they may be able to point out local sources to you.  In fact they may have stopped production on these axles, but they are available.
