Listed for: 1979-1992 Mercedes-Benz 300SD, 380SEL, 420SEL, 560SEL and 560SECFitment notes & questions

SuperPro's SPF5178K kit renews the differential mount bushings on the large Mercedes-Benz sedans and coupes listed below, from the 300SD diesel to the 560SEL and 560SEC. It suits owners of these cruisers who notice a clunk from the rear on and off the throttle.

The differential is mounted to the body or subframe through bushings that absorb drivetrain movement. As they wear, the diff can shift under power and on and off the throttle, which feels like a clunk or shunt from the rear. New mounts help keep the drivetrain steady.

Parts that usually go with it

  • An alignment after installing new arms or bushings.
  • Matching parts at the other end. Upgrading one side or one link and leaving worn parts elsewhere limits the improvement.
  • Install tools. Pressed-in bushings may need a press or a shop to fit them.
