Getting ready to do the front end of my W123 and I think I read somewhere you can use w126 bushings instead of stock w123 bushings, and the w126 bushings are better/stronger?

I tried searching but didn't have any luck so I figured it was time to ask.

Thanks in advance



'98 E300 Turbo "Juliette" - Brabus wheels and almost all the options a w210 could have
'87 300D Turbo "Roxanne" - #22 head - 400E brakes - EGR Delete - 17" Staggered AMG 5 spoke rims from CLK500 - 5 Spd manual
2007 Chevy 2500HD CCSB Duramax with about 400-500 rwhp depending on the tune I use Big Grin
1983 300D Silver Exterior/Black inside - Sold and will be missed, may we never meet in a PnP.

Yes they are stronger and in my opinion better built. You can interchange them.

Is this for LCA and UCA? and what will happen if you use them with the regular 14"s?

'14 Ram 6.7l cummins -G56 handshaker, wishing it was deleted

So we still have to stick with w123 UCA bushings?
