These have obviously never been changed, im on with installing an SL350 Anti roll bar, Sway bar , and wondered why the bar touched the sump !

 

Can anyone tell me if theres an OE Upgrade for these, ive seen the ECE Alloy ones and i dont want them , theyre shorter so that doesnt work and ******* expensive too

 

Google Creative Steel. I have no affiliation or direct experience.

 

Thanks i will , is there not a Black Series version thats a bit more durable , dont really car about harsh or vibrations but need them to be stiffer and last !

 

There are no V8 SL black series

 

Or Any Generic uprated versions , i see MB use a parts bin type mentality on many Versions , is there a known one to choose ?

 

unfortunately we are all victims of these engine mounts, I only drive V12's it's even worse for us to replace
I never see anything as good in terms of comfort but longer lasting

FEBI BILSTEIN makes aftermarket

 

to find your right part you VIN if USA or FIN if europe is needed, just post it

 

Thanks for those , Ebay UK has lots of aftermarket sellers at more realistic prices, Febi Biltsein is one of the brands being offered so i guess i'll buy some and stick them in . You will be aware that as these Age with use they collapse and drop the engine down , i cannot allow that to happen as im squeezing an Anti roll bar already into the space below the sump , a better mount would hold up longer but i will probably put a shim below the mount in the subframe to give a little more space and bit more time before having to do this again !

I replace my stock 55 motor mounts every 30 to 50k miles. They simply do not last. I would go with the aftermarket ones with Creative Steel. My next set will be from them.

 

If you could link them for me , i cannot find these online , im in the UK too so the choice seems even less .

So heres the bits i asked about , sorry i couldnt add pics to the message system for some reason .



These seem to have the Hex drive on them for the ARB Drop links .

Top bar, drop link with hex drive .

 

So in case anyones interested, i have acquired some Aftermarket Lemforder ones, good fit and quality and you can see just how much the OE ones had compressed, i now have some clearance under the Sump to the Anti roll bar , i'll mess about with that a bit more tomorrow maybe ....





Its a pig of a job getting the new ones in , no room and not easy to see anyhting up there

 

great job

 

Fantastic job. Bask in the satisfaction.

 

Lets see if the ARB clears the sump once its all bolted up . Im still struggling to confirm that the ball joints i need that go in the bottom arms are these
A2113230068
I really need to know if the SL350 track control arm and the SL55 AMG version are the same , the hole it needs to go in is pictured earlier in this thread and is around 34mm O.D .
Im being repeatedly asked for VIN by the sellers, but as my car is an SL55 they were never fitted as STD !!!

 

I used the black series engine and trans mounts for my Sl55

 

Hi , thanks for the reply . , do you have part numbers and pics of these please, its why i started this thread to ask if they were available , shame you didnt answer before i did the job ,lol .
I searched for them and couldnt find any for reference, did you go to main dealer ?

What do they drive like , any stiffer, longer lasting , taller ??
