I am preparing to replace all of the bushings and ball joints on by 1985 300D. Are there any eccentric bolts or other hardware that I should plan on replacing? Or should I see how they look after I have the car apart?

Also, anyone know where can I find new front and rear swaybar bushings?

I would call the usual suspects I'm sure they should be able to source what you need. Unless the bolts are heavily rusted they should be fine. I would use thread locker and/or new lockwashers or locknuts however...

Usually the parts come with new nuts for the rebuild.
The ecentric bolts for the lower control arms are usually reused. Check them as you remove them. (also mark them so they can be reinstalled in the same place) If badly rusted then replace them. Mine were 22 years old and fine when I did my rebuild. (but a Oklahoma and Texas car)
The front sway bar mount bushings are available from Phil at Fastlane. The rear sway bar links are also available from Phil.
The rear sway bar mounts bushingsa are no longer made. But you can use another cars bushing.
