SL55 Rear Subframe Mounts

Does anyone have any DIY info on how to replace worn rear subframe mounts on a 2004 SL55 AMG? I think the part number is 211 351 11 42 MY

Any special tools needed? I have a lift, but not sure if I'll need any special tools, diag equipment, etc.

Stealer is quoting me $1800.

thanks!

What were your symptoms? I'm chasing down a slight vibration at speed.

I had a vibration at speed and, even though my wheels were balanced, they were actually out of round. Ended switching to new wheels and things are smooth as silk. For the rear subframe mounts, I would hear a slight clunking sound while deaccelerating, or coasting. Sound was from the rear passenger side. Took it in and dealer said I needed new mounts. $1800 (mostly labor)... glad I have an extended warranty.

Did replacing the bushings resolve the noise problem?

Did you hear the noise when going over small bumps or cobblestone roads?
