C32 Subframe bushing
Hi all,
I planning to rebuild my rear subframe. During parts number searching, I found that, the parts number is different from other W203.
In general W203: 203 350 43 08
For C32: 203 350 48 08
Is there any different?
Beside, I found Strongflex offer Poly bushing to W202 and W201 of subframe. Are they compatible to C32?

The rear subframe fits nearly all of the 203 cars. Chances are good that the difference was in the durometer of the rubber. They were big on using firmer bushings in the AMG cars.
A common fix for some of the early 203/209/211 front suspension bushings was to use the firmer AMG stuff. It got so widespread that MBUSA locked down the AMG parts to an order by VIN status.
