Photos: Replaced W115/W114 Rear Sway Bar End Links
 
This is nice easy job with good pay off. I thought I post some photos in case anyone else is on the fence about doing it.

Replaced the Rear Sway Bar End Links on the Mercedes Benz 220D W115 | Old Car Junkie

As you can see the sway bar end links on my 220D were well past their best and not functioning. The free floating sway bar gave a nice clunk over any bumps. They would need to be replaced.

The wheels need to come off then only two 17mm wrenches are required for the top. The bottom only needs a single 17mm wrench.

The passenger side link completely fell apart on me as I took it off.

The driver's side one looked better but was still not functional enough to locate the sway bar. The bottom nut isn't required in the W114/W115 installation and just screws into the rear hub.

The new sway bar end link in. Very easy job to do on a 220D and the result is amazing. The Mercedes both handles and rides better. The slightly saggy end has also been corrected.

Handy pics, saved to my DIY folder for some future suspension overhaul.

My rear end looks exactly like that. What all need to be replaced in that situation... What parts do i need to purchase. What is that broken of part, would that be the cause of my loud clunking when turning right, as the broken piece is on the right side
