W123 rear sway bar bushings. Part number
 

Just returned from the Mercedes dealer.
I wanted the rear sway bar bushings for the 82 300TD. Of course the rebuild kit is no longer available. The dealer researched this and I have bushings that are the replacement. The part number is

201 326 10 81

Did they happen to mention whether these will fit on a sedan? Is the swaybar on the wagon thicker than on the sedan? It probably is. When I did my bushings no one could tell me if the "swaybar bracket kit" contained bushings, and there wasn't a seperate number for bushings. I ended up installing energy suspension polyurethan bushings in the old brackets. They don't fit perfectly, but so far they seem to work o.k. Nonetheless, I'd rather have OEM parts in there.

I will have the dealer find out. The old bushing number that is stamped on the bushing is 123 326 2081. If you have your old ones you can check to see if its the same number.
Because of your post, which I found in a search, I had them research this and the above part number is the replacement that they got from Mercedes. Everthing about the bushing is the same except it is about 1/8th of an inch taller. Which makes sense. My old one lookes like it would have compressed, after 22 years, about that much.
I'll call the dealer tomorrow and find out.

Looking in the service manual on the job description for rear sway bar removal.
They have 3 sway bars listed.

sway bar 123 326 44 65 13mm diameter bushing 123 326 20 81
sway bar 123 326 45 65 13mm diameter bushing 123 326 20 81
sway bar 123 326 46 65 15mm diameter bushing 123 326 21 81

Since the last sway bar is for "special vehicles and special T sedans this sway bar is not typically used.

Also since my old bushing is the 123 326 20 81, it is for a 13mm diameter sway bar. Which is what is shown in the manual for sedans too.
Measure your sway bar. If it is 13mm then this bushing is the replacement for the 123 sedan (300D, 240D) also.
