Replacing the LCA bearings?
Use the 126 3 piece. I confirmed with classic parts this is the one listed in the manual as special 15" wheel application.

1987 300D Sturmmachine
1991 300D Nearly Perfect
1985 300D Weekend/Camping/Dog car
1974 L508D Motoroam Monarch "NightMare"

The stocker W123 (and only listed anywhere I looked) is a 2 piece and just not up to the task of todays larger wheels/torque forces. The 3 piece was specifically designed for 15"+

Check with Rusty at buymbparts.biz. He looked it up for me last time, said it was just the regular first gen W126 bearing.
