On a 124 chassis in addition to the two rear mounts which attach to the differential rear cover, there is a single front differential mount that secures the forward end of the differential, it uses a 8 mm Allen head bolt which connects to a 17 mm nut which resides above it in a channel of the subframe on passengerside of the differential immediately adjacent to the differential's ABS sensor. There are upper and lower rubber disk mounts that sandwich a tab on the differential.

The differential is enclosed in the center assembly, according to the Mercedes workshop manual. As such it has no mounts. Using the term "differential" to describe other than the part the ring gear bolts to is a common error among neophytes. Furthermore, there is only one differential in the subject car, at the rear of the car. There is none at the front.
