You're absolutely right. Learned about that on the Easley list a few years back when mine started to "clunk" over potholes. Dealer wanted $1200 to replace the front shock bearings or some such, and a long-time independent couldn't find the source, though it's a VERY common problem in W124s.

Replaced my front sway bar bushings and all's well.
