Hi Guys,

Ive got a 1998 420SL as a daily driver over here in Hong Kong. I'm trying to get my hands on a full kit of polyurethane suspension bushes. Ive searched a few places online but it seems that the kits are generally for US cars.

Has anyone had any experience with Polyurethane bushes in a W107?
Am I doing the right thing?
Does anyone know where to buy them as a kit?

Thanks guys.

The US cars of this age are always a bit different, The left hookers had foot brakes rather than hand brakes as on the RHD cars.

I'm sure there's still a market for the 107 in Oz, surely that's a bit closer to home ?

That's what I'm saying, if I ever struggle with our old timer RHD cars, rather than look to the US, I look towards Oz and Hong Kong where the rest of the RHD cars went.
