On the surface it does appear to be a weak design. I guess I am used to see how rugged and over built w123 and w126’s are. I have to agree that this is a finely tuned weight saving suspension and that any other movement that the swaybar bracket was not designed for will cause it to fail. So whether it's a 300E bracket used in a 300TD, worn out control arm bushings, coil spring or spring perch issues, and etc. The fact of the matter is… We need pictures of to help out the OP!




.

I have provided forged-aluminum suspension pieces to the automotive industry for lightweight low-unsprung-weight suspensions, even domestic trucks, ... I'm not sure what part of the cast iron and stamped steel 124 suspension is lightweight. What the car is, is stiff, with 30% of the body being high-tensile steel and the highest natural-frequency chassis in the industry (54hz IIRC).

What happened last night??? :confused:

Full moon ;~)

still haven't figured it out. New springs and bushings so other than that everything is normal

How many new ones have you gone through now? When did the last one break? How are the pictures coming along?
