Front Sway Bar Options & Information
Front Sway Bar Options & Information
Howdy Everyone --
Application: our beloved MB W123 Chassis Platforms, EG 240D, 300D, et cet. up to 1985.
I currently have a 24mm front sway bar. I understand the front sway bars came in 3 flavors: 22/23mm, 24mm and 25mm. Am I missing anything or not accurately reflecting what the options are? If so, please let me know.
As for the front sway bar, which one is the zinger??? And why ??? My front end is apart, engine is out, and this IS the time to upgrade (or not). Thanks, and as always, this is a GREAT forum with GREAT members!

Part number on a 25 mm front sway bar I pulled from a 1979 300D wagon is 123 323 (5)065 (*mistaken, see next two posts*) --the 5 in parentheses might be a 6. It's stamped on the left prong, outer side, about 4 inches back from the circular spacer.
I have a 25mm bar that came of a 1985 300TD - part number on that is 123 323 69 65.
.
By golly you're right, that is a 9 not a zero. And I'll believe it's a 6. So, 123 323 69 65 it is.
