I am in need of help to identify the prop shaft that I just removed from my 230SL. After the removal and during my inspection, I decided that it would be a good idea to replace the universal joints. My universal joints are not held in place with spring clips on the top of the cap but clips under the yoke. As I am am doing my rolling restoration, I have found parts that have been changes with non 230SL parts.
Therefore, I feel that there is a good possibility that my prop shaft came from another model.
- Universal joints do not look like any sold for a 23SL
- This shaft has a slip joint next to the carrier barring.
- The only part number I can find in on a yolk starting that starts with 114
- There is a Mercedes star and B & H stamped on the end of the shaft
- The slip joint end has a fiber seal pocked to keep the grease in the slip joint
My goal is to find the universal joints that will fit this shaft.
