For all 107 chassis SL and SLC models built from 1972 to 1989 and all 114 / 115 chassis sedans and coupes from 1968 to 1976. If the front end of your W107 SL or SLC convertible or coupe or 114/115 wanders on the road or thunks when you go over railroad tracks, you most likely need to install a new front sub frame bushing kit.

Product Details
I see this condition even on real low mileage pristine cars. It is not a function of mileage, but rather of age. From my experience all rubber suspension parts seem to deteriorate when they reach 15 to 18 years old.
You can inspect your mounts without jacking the car or removing the tires. It is not a difficult job to replace the sub frame mounts. My guide will take you step by step through the process. You will need to raise the car up in the air and remove the front wheels. You lower one side at a time and do one side at a time. You can be done in a long afternoon and will most certainly be pleased with the results! For the do-it-yourself owner, I consider this one of the best (for the money) handling improvements you can make on your 107 or 114/115.
