I was under the impression that the W116, W123, W126 lower Control Arms were the same. Maybe not the same part#`s, but the design and shape were the same.

I was poking around on E-Bay the other night and clicked into this down under MB site, Oz-Benz, and read through a build thread on a W116 78 280S AMG 4-SPD.
There is a picture of the Lower Control arm I had never seen before. Maybe all W116 have this type? IDK. Sure is different.

Scroll down and there is a picture of it.

Then I come across this seller selling the same Arms (Left and Right) for a w123. No way this will work......or as far as I can tell from my being under a bunch of these cars.
