W201 Rear Subframe Bushing Photos
 

Just thought I'd post these up for reference.

I had my shop replace my rear subframe bushings and idler arm bushing last week. Labor was $350 for the rear bushings, $45 for the idler arm bushing.

Let me tell you...ride difference is amazing. The rear end is silent going over bumps. Nice and smooth!

They tell me I've gotta replace my driveshaft center support soon so thats on the list and I think I'm gonna do the front control arms bushings too. Not sure if I should just replace the bushings or the whole arms. It might be worth it to just do the whole arm that way I have a nice fresh non-rusty arm with new bushings and ball joints.

I wish I'd taken pictures of the new parts :( The shop said the subframe ones were pretty shot. I forgot to ask how the idler arm ones were...but comparing the old pics to pics from parts websites..mine look like they were bad.
