it didn't fit to TEIN strut and we had to use dremel to make it fit perfectly...

the front links on my car is 203-320-28-89
and on OEMPARTSDIRECT, the description says,
Front Suspension-Stabilizer bar-Link, Link c240, c320, c32 - w/o 4matic
the ones you have MJ,
203-320-29-89
on OEMPARTSDIRECT, description says....
Front suspension-stabilzer bar-link, Link c240 wagon- w/o 4matic, c320 wagon w/o 4matic
I'm taking a wild guess, all V6+ cars have the 12mm endlinks, and 4 cylinder has 10mm endlinks.

My 2003 C320 (V6) had 10mm endlinks.
I had them bored to 12mm to fit the AMG sways.
My 2004.5 C320 (V6) has 12mm endlinks with AMG sways standard.

i'm gonna install them anyways, well, see if they can install it
I have heard from many, with 10mm endlinks, they installed these 12mm sway bars anyways, and bolted them tight. no squeeks no nothing.

Saw mj's endlinks tonight. They're definitely the right ones, so the 28 part number must be correct.
We'll see.

Gary just called me up from the shop and told me that his car came with stock AMG sway bars
How come my c230k did not come with AMG sway bars?

ok back from the shop.
apparently my car came with amg sway bars/bushings/endlinks.
the endlinks are 12mm endlinks, we measured it,
sway bars, we took them off, they were the same exact ones that I have posted up, even with the pre-attached poly urethane bushings!
they measure 22mm front, 12mm holes
rear is the same as well, measured 16mm thick.
I apparently have AMG SWAY BARS ON MY CAR!
now i guess im going for eibach

that is a bit weird...
after removing the stock sway bar, I placed it next to the AMG ones, they were exactly the same, just that my stock ones were dirty.
isnt that weird...I have stock AMG sway bars!
