Hi,

does anyone have a source for the rubber rear stabilizer mounts.
They seem to be no longer available over here in Germany.

And they seem to be Crossfire specific for the coupe and the roadster – so not a SLK R170 320 part.
ZH 27 – Roadster: 05099082AA
ZH 29 – Coupé: 05142013AA

Thanks, Markus

 

Photo please?

 

Borrowed pic of a rubber stabilizer mount from a N/A coupe. Installation position is turned by 180 degrees.

Check out this thread: https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...-rear-car.html

It was being suggested to use a universal replacement. That specific Energy Suspension bushing is available from multiple websites. Same size sway bar hole but larger bushing and stronger bracket.

 

You have the part numbers reversed for the coupe and roadster. For the coupe, the bushings have been discontinued/no longer available since 2014. The rear sway bar for the Crossfire is practically twice as thick as the SLK 320 so the part is a 193 part number.

Your best bet is aftermarket like Toolman recommended.

 

That looks like a Mercedes logo on the top left and and a Mercedes part number to me.

 

@Toolman and @Ronman

Thanks for your answers and suggestions. That after market solution is for shure not perfect, but might be the alternative to stock.

Yes, that is definitely a Mercedes star, but the number is starting with 193, which is not a MB model range. As we all know 193 is a Crossfire specific part. Have also reseached for other better photos, and it seems to be 193.

We've checked if it's maybe a 163 part (W163), but the dimensions are different.

Also did some research on the development and for shure there are some Crossfire specific parts on rear axle that are not borrowed from some other Mercedes models.

@all

Thanks a lot to all that helped. And if there are other solutions or ideas, please let me know.

Looking into it more I have to agree it is a 193 number, the question is why when there is bucketful of parts that could have been used.

 

Good question. I don't know. Seems they needed a specific setup for the bigger wheels and different axle curb weight.

A.s.f.a.i.k the Crossfire specific suspension setup was made inhouse at Karman. So maybe the Karman and the Daimler Chrysler / Mercedes guys didn't talk to each other, because the project was completely outsourced to Karman. Who knows…
