1987 300E Rear Subframe Bushings
Hello everyone,
I am new to the forum! I have a 1987 300E (W124) with just over 270k miles on it. I am planning on rebuilding my rear suspension as some of my bushings are worn out on the multi-links. I have the full kit from FCP euro plus new lower control arms. I was also wondering about my subframe bushings for the rear, they look okay albeit cracked (not splitting). I found the kit for the rearmost ones, does anyone know what the part # is for the front most ones? I was also trying to find the specialty tool for pressing them in/out. Has anyone attempted to do this job before? I can't seem to find much on it aside from posts that are 10+ years old. I've been having issues with the car wandering, given the mileage, I just want to tackle the job and not worry about it for a long time.
I know there is a lot of details in this post to cover, I appreciate any and all help!

Subframe bushings
Years ago I tried the factory tool to remove them it didn't work they were frozen, ended up using a drrmel type tool to cut a groove into the bushing thereby loosening its grip then pounded them out, the new ones slide right in and when bolted up are tight in the housing
