SEL SEC SDL Stabilizer Sway Bushing Polyurethane

I was doing some E-Bay searching for MB parts and came across these Polyurethane front Sway Bar bushings for the W126 chassis..

Fits Mercedes Sel Sec SDL Stabilizer Sway Bushing Polyurethane Pair 1981 91 | eBay



These are probably on the order of Energy Suspension bushings, a little stiff compared to factory rubber.

Iam replacing everything under the front end of the 240D, and even ordered new Sway Bar bushings.
I was thinking when I put in the order if there were these type of bushings, but for a Mercedes?....Naw no way. Then I see these.

The stock Bushings have a slit on the side to get them on, don`t see it here.

I have a set of stock SD swaybar bushings. I redid both the 84 & 85 SD and the swaybar bushings looked new so I left them alone. The cars drive wonderfully with all new front suspension. Alignment sheet shows that the back is very close to dead center so I'll do other things like fix the AC instead of messing with the back end.

Does anyone have comment of drastic effect of rear suspension refurb? I should probably start another thread if the project becomes imminent.
