English Bulldog, I will likely take the front off to completely inspect everything and replace the bushings and end links. I have all the new parts just waiting on the weather. On my '99 E300 the front bar can probably be removed in 20 minutes. One has to remove the under trays and the 4 bolts that hold the bushings on and the end links. The bar then simply drops straight down. The rear may require loosening the sub frame so I will likely try and work the second bar in with a bit of the ends sawed off.
Frankly I am willing to try the upgrade because it costs so little compared to a new or H&R sway bars front and rear. I expect to get 90% of the result for 15% of the cost. Numbers I like, plus I get to tinker!
Reasonably simple shaped sway bars
