[diesel_mercedes] W-123 Sway Bar Bushings

 



No Rob ;

It was my Coupe after the left side sway bar bushing bolt on the leading edge fell out on the I-405 freeway

I have many more photos and was going to write a series of aritcles covering this fairly easy job but no one said boo so I dropped it .

Should I continue ? .

It's a really tight job but just takes time and patience , I think I spent two days including all the careful cleaning , " polishing the cement " and so on .

All W-123's use the same details .

Did the photos show embedded or all at the top of my message ? .

Nate,

Was this a 240D that you changed the Sway Bar Bushings on?

I tried to get at the driver's side bushing w/o removing the brake booster, yet it's way to tight in there on my '85 300D.
Decided to hold off on the Sway Bar Bushings for now, though I did put in new shocks (B. HD), rotated some tires, and inspected various parts.

At some point I need a tranny rebuild, and repair the leaking oil filter canister, which might also be a good time to pull the brake booster, to make room, and replace the Sway Bar Bushings.

Maybe a wash is in order now.
