I have read a few posts where people have changed the W124 SLS wagon sway bar with a stronger 500E sway bar for better stability. I have come across a W126 560 SEL with a SLS system and am wondering if this sway bar would fit in my wagon and give it some extra stability.

Any thoughts or speculations?

Completely different rear suspension, so that seems highly unlikely..

The W126 uses the same rear suspension as the W123 and many older models while the W124 uses the newer multilink like W140, W210 etc..

It is just the sway bar I am interested in swapping. I pulled the leveling valve from the system this weekend, it has a 124 part number. The sway bar in question has a 126 part number. Given that the leveling valve had a 124 part number got me thinking about swapping in the sway bar, same mounting set up as on my wagon, just bigger diameter = more stability.
I am thinking that the 126 sway bar might be wider than the 124 sway bar but I did not have a tape measure with me.
I am hoping someone on this board that has some experience with the two different chassis SLS systems might chime in.
Thanks.
