By any chance do you have any pics of those while they were in the car as well?

I'm just curious how much the bad mount sagged/compressed versus the good mount.

Also, how much of a difference in the rear end squat did the mount being replaced make?
I'd heard that these were one of the suspects in w126 tail dragging, and have worked over most of the other bushings on mine already.

The difference between good and bad is roughly 3 MM.
When in doubt, replace it.
