w124 rear arm bushes

***ARB Bushes not arm****


I'm having the rear suspension/subframe arms/diff/bushes replaced. I have a pretty comprehensive list of parts but I'm unsure on the size of the rear arb bushes I need to order. I was going to order some poly ones for longevity as well as poly subframe bushes (front and rear mounts). However there is around 10 different sizes for the arb bushes! I have found some OE bushes that claim to be 15.5mm, but the options i have are 13 - 22mm in 1mm increments?

The car is a S124 E320 (124.092) The original part number from epc says A 124 326 01 81 for reference. i don't have the car to hand to measure it hence why I'm asking. I've heard its a subframe drop job to change the bushes so may as well do it while its down!

Regards

Ben

That number A124 236 01 81 shows nothing. Do a google search on it .

You can do the arb bushes without dropping the subframe. Where are you getting the polly bushes please?

Well the subframe is being dropped anyway to tackle some light rust that’s only going to get worse. So I’m thinking of buying the Meyle rear arm kit, Meyle HD diff bushes, then strongflex poly subframe bushes (red, less harsh versions) and thought may as well get the rear arb bushes in poly at the same time perhaps?

That’s not the number that’s in my post lol

I wouldn’t mind doing that, however it’s a fair bit of work to change the bushes, which is why I’m having the arm kit. The subframe bushes will make installation easier once the old bushes are out and hopefully tighten the frame a little with extra power going through it. Just not sure wether to do poly arb bushes or not and if they will make any sort of difference!

These are the same kit and on offer a bit cheaper through the actual dealer
