I ordered a Meyle torsion bar bushing kit (Part #1153200047) for my 81 380sl. However, the the diameter of the rubber buffer that's supposed to fit around the bar is only 22mm, and it should be 25. So the buffer won't close around the bar.

In addition, the bolt on the connecting link is supposed to be 210mm long, but it's only 203 mm. So, the bolt isn't long enough to hold the bushings, spacer, washers, torsion bar and the control arm together.

I was just wondering whether anyone has had this problem before, or am I just missing something.


Thanks in advance
