if you have had a w126 suspension apart, especially the upper control arm...

This is one of the problems on a 420SEL that we are looking at. Is the swaybar broken off or is it just missing the part that goes through the upper control arm?
Thanks
David

Need a shot from another angle to be 100% sure but it looks like it has a broken sway bar. Here is what it should look like

Agree with Jim, need to try and get a shot looking in from the front. The sway bar may be broken or the bolt may be broken/missing. It does seem odd that the sway bar is sitting so far in the wheelwell, it should be much closer to the large opening in the upper control arm.
