Easy for some of you...

Seems to me - this part might be past it's best?

I'd like to replace it - I'd like to know what it is called so I can get the local chap to order it.

This is a brace behind the rear n/s wheel, 1990's LWB G

I'd like to make sure they have the part before it goes in for it's next service.

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to help me out here...

Re: What's this?

The brace may be part number: A460 882 01 07 titled Stiffening. There should be one on the other side as well. 

Check with the dealer before committing to buy. I have selected this part based on a 280GE LWB as I don't have details of your

vehicle. If the part is very expensive, it could be easily fabricated by your mechanic.

Yup. That's it sure enough.

Isn't Google brilliant!

I just put in that part number - and Google immediately returned that the part is usually rusted in half! Amazing!...

Thanks very much. I now know what "it's called", so can at least relate to  the service chap...

Re: What's this?

Thanks Jason, and Stevo.

Seems like this part was doing nothing productive for "some considerable time".

As you've said - it's not an expensive bit of kit - I'll get it ordered as I'm due a service about now anyway.

Many thanks...

Re: What's this?

Thanks Gav.

Which one would it be for passenger side on a RHD?

Do you maybe have the URL for MB Germany? Had a few searches - but coming up blank...
