The part numbers in the picture are backwards according to Mercedes of Fort Lauderdale.

202-990 is the bolt

202-352 is the stop plate.

Mercedes of Fort Lauderdale is saying $67.40 + $10/ship for the rear kit. Doesn't sound too bad to me.

I'm looking at Fastlane for the front bushings. That is saying $15.45 each for the front bushings, but $80 if I want the "kit" with the bolts and another small sliver of rubber. My bolts aren't badly rusted, do I really need to pay $50 for bolts?

Also, in terms of installation, I've been reading how to's and none of them seem to have a ton of overlap.

People on BenzUK say you can do one mount at a time and tilt the subframe, or so I gathered. But I see most people here just drop the whole thing as a unit. It almost seems easier to drop it as a unit, do all 4, do some wire wheel and POR15 while I'm in there, and pop it back up in there.

Do I need a spring compressor to do this job?
