I'm looking to replace the sway bar bushings and end links. I'm seeing quit a difference in price for the end links:
Lemfoeder $25
Moog $34
Bilstein $27
Beck Arnley $21
Dealer $70

Anybody have experience here. Does more money equate to better performance?

Some sites are saying I there is also two "boots" as well. But I can't find them on the diagram.

Lastly - recommendations on where to buy the parts.

Thanks

Anybody?

i just did front and rear sway bar bushings and links on my 05. I went to the dealer for all of it because i tried using lemfoerder and the parts did not fit properly from autopartswarehouse. i didnt pay much at the dealer and at least you can bet the parts will last as long as your original ones did. just my opinion but with the MB, spending a little more sometimes is the best option for the longevity of the components.

I did the sway bar bushings and end links on my 02 C240 about 3 or 4 months ago. The end links were Lemfoerder (OE) and the bushings were Vaico. I ordered the parts from rmeuropean.com.
Replacing these parts were very straight forward and everything fit without any issues. I have also ordered parts from autohausaz.com
Always had great service and fast shipping from both of the companies.
Good Luck!

Is this to fix the squeaking fromt he rear suspension?
Im having the same problem now and thinking about replacing my sway bar bushings and end links.
Is this a DIY job? How do you get the old bushings off and the new ones on? I thought a press or special machine was needed.

If I remember right...without going and looking....the W203 front bushings originally came with a separate bushing and a C-shaped holder. They were changed to a single unit later during production and the old part numbers are superseded by the combined part.

Mine were updated under the original warranty when one was making noise.
