Finally I have the front end torn apart. However I'm not sure if what I have is correct or what I'm doing is right. I've attached a couple of pics to help explain myself.
I'm just now in the process of installing the front sub-frame mount kit. But there seems to be extra parts in this kit or parts were missing from my 560SL. Here are the parts I have from flybynight.com:

As you can see from the pics I have attached (and at flybynight.com), there are parts in this kit that I don't seem to have on the car. The first pic (if that's how this forum places pics) is the pic from flybynight.com. The following pic is what was delivered (same as flybynight.com). What I don't seem to have are those little half circle retainer clips (4 pieces middle on the right of flybynight.com description pic). Nowhere can I find these. Should they be here and if so, how do they work?
You can see my bushings are shot! All that came out is the rubber bushing, plastic tapered cap, rubber ring, large metal ring, bolt and lock washer on each mount. I don't have these little half circle clips or what ever they are.
Any feedback on this would be appreciated. I can't find a manual anywhere and all I have is a Mitchell CD manual and it does not show this part of the car. I'm at a loss.
Thanks,
Tony
