Sway bar bushings

[B500EWF]

Hi all,

I am having difficulties in finding sway bar inner stabilizer bushings, part code A1243234785 (had a look on https://www.mboemparts.com/ but they don't deliver outside the US). The ones I have installed now are very squeaky and annoying, but I can't seem to find them to replace. Do you have any recommendations where I could find 2 pieces? My mechanic told me that the outer bushings are available at the dealer, but the inner ones are not.

Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

124-323-47-85 (for 28.0mm bar) appears NLA.

As a substitute, order 124-323-45-85 (for 27.5mm bar). These will be a little tight, but should fit, and will work fine.

Thank you very much for the reply. So, even if the bushing is for a bar of slightly different dimensions, I can expect it to fit properly and not make noises?

Correct. The OE / Genuine Mercedes bushing has Teflon liner to eliminate noise. Almost all aftermarket bushings do not have this, which is why they squeak.

The 0.5mm difference in diameter is negligible. For RENNtech's 32mm bar, they supplied a 30mm bushing.... 2mm smaller diameter! It was very tight, but worked. They did this because there is no factory bushing larger than 30mm. Only 0.5mm difference is tiny.

Awesome. Thank you very much for this. I will look it up and hopefully will be able to find it OE at the dealer.
