Thanks for that, but how does that improve things?
There are no struts to brace on a W123, all those bars are doing is connecting the spring mounts together, these see virtually zero lateral flex.
The swing arm design keeps almost all of the lateral forces in the subframe and not the body.
A better solution for the front suspension is what is commonly know as an export brace, that braces the top arm pivot bolts back to the bulkhead at 45 degrees, this triangulates this area and reduces the flex dramatically.
