Title: "klunk" bushing or rear axle hanger bushing pricing / source
Post by: merrill on February 25, 2019, 17:14:15

hello
are there any suggestion on suppliers or  pricing for the klunk bushings?

In the usa I have found varying pricing from different suppliers
MB oem is about $300
buds benz about $160
other classic part suppliers $130

I did not want to get into this project with a sub par bushing.

thank in advance matt

I bought both the Klunk bushings (one that mounts in trunk, and the long one you show) from  mbclassics.de

I went for the aftermarket ones after chatting with Alexander (vendor). 

I have installed the trunk mount and it made a nice difference.  Have not installed the long one as it looks way more involved and will do it at some later date. 

If you are shipping to USA , you won’t pay the 19% tax  but will pay a little extra for shipping.  Great vendor.  Have bought a bunch of parts from him.
