On a W108 and others that use the same floor pan,the easy way is to raise the car up in the air,support the body under in the inner chassis rails and have the jack under the crossmember.undo the shock absorbers from the top .
Undo the brake hoses and the steering ends off the steering box and idler.Remove the crossmember locating rod. ( budget for a new one)
Mark the front leak springs so you can locate them back in the same spots and undo the sway bar bolts .
Undo the big center blot each side on the mount and undo the four securing bolts and lower the whole lot down with the engine and trans to a point where the mounts are clearly visible. Replace the mounts and grease the large center bolt. screw it home so it is still sligthly loose.
lift the whole deal back up and locate the four securing bolts on each side .Once they are in ,replace the front sway bar with new bushes .
Set the front axle on jack stands on either side to replicate a load situation and tighten up the mounts bolts and the sway bar bolts.
reattach the steering and shock absorbers. Replace the brake hoses and bleed the brakes.
Done.
It's quicker and easier if you have a jack suited for the job.
