Can you provide a link?

I searched the item number on eBay UK but got nothing...

I also tried searching for the terms in your subject but couldn't find any current or sold listing at the price you mentioned.

Thanks.

Part # 05 vs 06 just have slightly different hardware (nuts/washers). The bushings are identical.

Both may still be available new in USA, as they are not yet "Discontinued" at RevParts dealers:

#06 shows NLA at MB Classic, but the #05 shows as available. If you need #06, buy #05 and supply different hardware if necessary.

Blimey, my eBay skills must need a refresh not finding that listing...

I didnt think about R129 fitment perhaps I should have bought it myself for my parts hoard !
We really need the UK price to know if its worth getting for stock, shipping and import taxes
make it a no go for US members

Yes, I think from what I’ve read the parts are the same for a W124 and an R129.

The parts look up/ordering system I use lists it at an MBUK retail price of £137.00 plus vat

Is that price for 124-330-05-75 or 124-330-06-75 ??

In USA the prices are quite different for the two (see post #5 above), despite the bushings in the box being identical.

That was for 124-330-06-75 as listed in the eBay ad

Thanks! Check the UK price for the #05... it may be lower.

Question for the brain trust. I see listings on ebay for a 1 piece bushing on the wishbone rear, but appears this is for W201 model but with 124 number 1243333814, huh?

The 1-pc bushing was used on some very early 124 chassis, and some 201 chassis. Details are in the 124 FSM somewhere, and/or the early Introduction to Service manuals. You don't want the single bushing for any 124 application.

Yes, it is! 124-330-05-75 = £123.00 plus VAT. And seems to be available to order.
124-330-06-75 has a supersession, which goes to all the parts individually rather than a "repair kit"

Interestingly, when I used a VIN to reverse search 124-330-05-75 it isn't listed for that specific car, but 06 is....

The bushings are p/n 124-333-42-14 and sadly those appear NLA (link). When available they were ~$40/each MSRP, much more expensive vs buying the "kit".

Don't get too hung up on the EPC interchange, the bushings are identical in both kits, as mentioned above...

Not to muddy the waters too much but just as an FYI looks like 1243300475 is the kit with the one piece rear bushing.

In North America, the #04 kit is shown for 4MATIC models only.
