300CE-24 Sportline Rear subframe bushes

[ray_hennig]

Hello all,

I am gathering all the parts I need to restore the lower reaches of my 300CE-24 Sportline. The EPC says I need:

A1293511442 Rubber mounting (Rear subframe to frame floor - Sportline only) 2 off
A1243506708 Repair kit (Mounting parts) 1 off

One apparently gets enough for both in the mounting parts.

However, I have read elsewhere that these parts have now been superseded with:

A2023510942 Rubber mounting 2 off
A2029900504 Bolt 2 off
A2023520046 Stop Plate 2 off

Does anyone have any definitive answer to this, please?

My thanks in advance.

Ray,

I've just got the bits to have my Sportline Estate done:

Front Bushes A1243510242,
Subframe Mount Kit A1243506708 ( contains two metal plates and two bolts)

Rear Bushes and metal plates and bolts come as a Repair Kit: A1243500341.

Hope this helps, although I fear it'll just add confusion.
Andy

Well my only comment would be that the R129 shares a lot of the W124 underpinnings so the first part nos would make sense. The second set refer to the next generation C class W202- don't know how much they plundered the W124 parts box when designing it?
ps the R129 is a pretty heavy car with that roll bar assembly at the rear so I image any R129 rubber mounts are going to be fairly stiff altho its possible MB has standardised on "one size fits all" mounts by this time.

Thanks for both inputs. I've decided to go with the EPC recommendations.

But I was thwarted! I landed up ordering:
A2023510942 Rubber mounting 2 off
A2029900504 Bolt 2 off
A2023520046 Stop Plate 2 off

No idea whether they'll fit. Doubtless the chap who gets the renovation job will sort out the problem. I suppose we'll have to order replacement parts if they're no good.

However, I did try searching on Genuine Auto Parts and their site confirmed that A1293511442 had been superseded by A2023510942.

Anyway, we'll see.

Blimey, just saw that I didn't close this.

They all fitted.
