Yeah I had the vehicle info under my name a 85 Merc 300D sedan. My silver eagle. Here is my intro post: My 85 MB 300D

The link is plastic or nylon. Kind of cheap considering the cost of the car. It has 200k on it so it has done it's job. Makes sense that there is some sort of bushing at each end.

I am making a list of parts I need.
