W124 Jacking Point Pads - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

I went to jack up my 300D and put it on stands, and found that two of the wedge-shaped rubber pads under the jacking points were gone. Anybody know the part number for these? Is there some kind of hardware that holds them on that came loose, or do they just snap into the holes I can feel on the underside of the edge of the body?

They just snap in abd they are only a couple of bucks at the dealer.

Put a little water proof wheel bearing grease on the new pads, they will go in better and the grease will prevent rust. I think I payed $9 each for mine.

I would not recommend using a petroleum based grease. It could attack the rubber. Just use some silicone spray lube, then push and twist and they will pop right in.

I was missing one and bought it at the MB dealer for $6. Went in with no problem but the lube suggestions probably will make it go in without any problem

I thought silicone was bad for rubber also... or is it only bad for plastic, hence why many people warn against using interior protectant containing silicone?

I didn't use anything when installing a missing one on my W124. I just placed the pad on top of a floor jack's saddle and raised the jack until the pad was firmly seated.
