Want to be a little more specific? What bushing are you talking about here? Strut bearings, control arm bushings, sway bar bushings, tailing arm bushings, engine mounts, etc etc.

Sorry for not being specific, the bushings are control arm bushings, and tailing arm bushings front and rear.
You know that some cars you could buy an bushing kit for front and rear suspensions, i can't find any for the w203. so strange.

If you're looking for an aftermarket bushing kit like one made of Urethane, unfortunately there aren't any. You're stuck with OEM. However, I've read that the later models were using solid rubber bushings as opposed to liquid filled which were used in earlier models. Should be stiffer. if you could get the correct measurements of the oem bushings you can order custom sizes from companies like prothane.

K-Mac manufactures “Urethane” bushings for our chassis.
He’s correct, though, that MB has available more durable -and retrofitable- hardware in its parts bin.

Any member with the provenance of Autotechnica ought to know better than to dispense disingenuous information on this forum.

I was only aware that KMAC made rear camber kits. I had no idea they made the front control arm bushings. I'm definitely going to look into getting a set of these.

My mistake. Someone posted a similar topic in another thread and replies were that they had to stick with stock parts. I was simply relaying what I've read on here, nothing from personal experience.
