Well thats what happened. Is the repair part some sort of connecting sleve that gioes over the remainder of teh bar?

Let face it. I want to be able to be as cost effective as possible and get it done as quick as possible. But right now, its about getting the parts either way. Mercedes can get a new one quick. Non of the parts stores, as expected, have anything. Unless someone knows for sure which parts store may have one - of the repair kit.

Thanks for the help thus far.

You should call Phil or Roy here at FastLane you can probably have the repair part tommorrow or Wednesday!

Here is a link to the part, the labor involved will probably be 1/10th! Good Luck!

Well I alread ordered the part from Napa. I wonder if it requires welding too. It came with a bunch of nuts and such. I was expecting something more like what you linked above but with securing bolt similar to what is used for the tie rod end links (minus threads).

The kit will be here Friday. Also I have no way of welding, but maybe I will look into getting this kit since I know 100% for sure it works and see if I can get a welder to stop by.

What a headache and I have only had the car two days!

I have done a couple complete swaybars back in the day on 123's and 126's. The job on that link above describes it as a 20 hour job, which is way overkill, I could do 2 or 2 and a half in 20 hours, this is an all-day job, even in a MB work shop, but no way is it a 20 hour job. I hope this kits works for you, but I don't think I'd do it, sounds pretty hokey.

Usually there will be a couple washers and a bolt, you'll need to get a look at things and see if your need the rubber bushings that fit alongside the upper control arm. They may have gotten loose and lost when things came apart!

As far as welding I cant imagine anything attaching secure and strong enough by other methods, the good thing is you should call around to the welders in your area, most will have a mobile welding truck/trailer setup and you can probably get the repair part stuck into place in about 20 minutes for less than $100 bill!

I looked at the Napa site, what they cal "sway bar repair kit"

That is not the part you need.
