W123 300TD wagon rear control arm bushing question

I'm looking for some parts advise in advance of replacing the rear trailing arm bushings on my 1983 300TD Wagon.

It seems that Pelican and other parts suppliers list the rear bushings as a common 126 part (126 352 01 65). But if you use the MB parts lookup, or order them through the MB Classic Center, they try to sell you a wagon-specific part (123 352 07 65). The former is around $17, the latter $54 (and you need four).

I read somewhere that the more expensive bushing has an eccentric hole allowing the toe of the rear wheels to be adjusted. Does anyone have any experience or information on this.

Those of you that have tacked this job, which part did you use?

Thanks,

Jeffrey
