NC240D76,

I just replaced the sway bar links on my 300sdl and it was a breeze.

1) jack up the rear on the side you are going to work on.

2) put a block under the swing arm to hold most of the weight

3) take the wheel off

4) using the jack adjust the height until the sway bar link is slack, you'll know it when it is!

5) the connection of the sway bar link to the sway has a nut on one side so you will need two open or box end wrenches (16 &/or 17mm I think?)

6) the connection to the swing arm is just a bolt, it comes right out, very easy to get to on the 300SDL

7) install the new sway bar link in reverse order

I never had to change the sway bar on my 75 115 240D but I would think they would be similar.


Good luck!!
