Tried it, no go.

But will definitely fit if you have no AC compressor.

Comes with urethane bushings for the bar; not the end links.

If you need matching end-link urethane bushings, you can get here (buy just the 8x end link bushings):

Also interested if JohnnyC doesn't buy it.  PM sent.

EDIT:  Oh, 22mm!  My 230 should already have that.  Never mind.

As Teahead mentioned, you can buy urethane bushings for both the 20mm and 22mm bars from Millers. Kind of a no brainer if you are looking for better handling.

What are the 4 leaf spring bushings for?  I don't recall any leaf springs under my car!   :o  What am I not understanding?

The flat spring connects the car frame to the subframe in front. There are (4) eccentric bushings. All Mercedes models of the 60s have these.
