I'm replacing the differential mounts on my 87 300TD. I've replaced the two rear mounts that press into the frame (I had access to the tool which made removal and installation relatively simple).

I'm looking for a pic or diagram to verify the correct orientation of the two 'pancake' bushings that are on top of the differential. I have the old ones still oriented in the way I took them off, but I wasn't sure if was correct.

This is the way they were ordered and oriented when I took them off (from bottom to top):

1. differential
2. weird looking spacer
3. 1st bushing (with the metal side down and rubber side up)
4. frame
5. 2cnd bushing (with the metal side down and rubber side up)
6. bolt

can anyone verify or know of a good pic?

I tried to post a url but couldn't.

Do you have a manual fot the w124 ? if no its free just -google this -
Model124 Maintenance Manual Index good luck

From bottom to top:

Bolt (goes through differential into stack of shim/mounts)
Differential
Shim (maybe your weird looking washer?)
Rubber mount (not clear which way metal part goes, I'd say opposite from subframe metal)
Subframe metal
Rubber mount
Plate with integrated hexagon shank (threaded, accepts the bolt).

torque = 45 Nm.
