The replacement of the front and rear sway bar bushings is something I have done with each used Mercedes that I have owned …. Something like 13 or 14 cars. Each time I was glad I have done it.

The results: Flatter cornering, a better control feel. Better resistance to cross winds and more firmly planted on winding roads.

Some models, of course are easier to perform this on than others. The 124 and 210 series are pretty easy to do.

Specific to your question, the rears are easiest to do when the rear wheels are off. (Best access) Ideally both wheels off so there is no twisting of the bar.

This is one of those jobs that you get a good feeling from doing. I may be a bit excessive here, but I will do them about every 50k miles or so.
