SL55 AMG Engine Mounts !

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 !

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

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.

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

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 !!!
