99 W210 Bushings...ALL of Them
After new tires and shocks all around, I still have some harsh ride issues. When I was installing the front shocks, I noticed that virtually every bushing within sight was completely eaten up. I'd like to go ahead and replace all of the bushings front and rear, while I may go ahead and put some H&R sway bars on at the same time. My question is this: if I'm going parts shopping online, I only want to do this once. Can anyone give me a complete list of what bushings (or components - like end links - where bushings can't simply be exchanged) I will need to complete the job? The last thing I want to do is tear it down, only to find that I've omitted one or two, and they aren't available locally.
Measure twice, cut once, right??
Thanks, guys.

I use the above link for quick searches and diagrams for our cars. If part numbers are needed then WIS is your best bet. I could look but can't guarantee that I'll get every single bushing. I need to do a bunch as well but mostly in rear.

I'm not aware of list specific to your model/year but you can join EPC-net ( https://epc.startekinfo.com/epc/home.jsp ) and between inspecting your car's undercarriage and EPC-net you should be able to make a list with part numbers. To join you will need to supply a valid US credit/debit card (for confirmation purposes only) but it's otherwise free. You'll also need to install Java to make the site work.

It's been a while since I tried last so I'll try it again later today.

Out Of Control!!
Really? You took the time to offer that response? Pardon me...I thought that's what this forum was for - those who need information can learn from those who have it. I'm not above looking for information or figuring something out on my own. I've changed my own brakes and shocks on this car, addressed climate control issues, cleaned clogged EGRs...and any of this experience I would gladly share with anyone who asked. It would be one thing if I was asking a question that has been asked and answered again and again on the board, but that's not the case. My point is to find the info from someone who has done this before, because if I'm looking it up myself, there's a good chance that I may overlook something.

The site wasn't working for a while a few months back but seems fine lately. I think the default browser is Internet Explorer but Firefox works for me.
