Lower control arm sway bar ????? made my own

I need to know for a fact that the lower control arm is the same on a 300e than it is on a 91 300te 4matic.

Also is the sway bar end same on a 300e than a 91 300te 4 matic.

Im not going by what other sites say (waste 70buck already)
Part # would be great.
TY

I'm afraid they are all different. All shock absorbers, spring, sway bar, control arm, atc are different from 4-MATIC's to standard suspension.

I could get part number for monday.

Here some pics to see differences.

1st figure: Standard 2nd: 4-MATIC

I'm impressed. I didn't know someone could fit standard bushings into 4-MATIC. The last picture with the washer seems to be good, with any play I suppose. The only question if if vibrations go out! Have you test it?

I havent tested it yet. I have only one side in the other side is grinded and ready to go in. I wonder if mercedes went this way anyway since no one sells them Its a nice tight fit though
